Bacterial cells of Staphylococcus aureus, magnified 50,000 times. S. aureus is one of the causal agents of mastitis in dairy cows. Its large capsule protects the organism from attack by the cow’s immunological defenses.

Extremely high-detailed image of Staphylococcus aureus bacterial cells, captured by a transmission electron microscope, magnified 50,000 times. The original 60MB source file is 4000x5000. If anyone can improve the sharpness while keeping the image large, feel free; it should be pretty easy.
