Food bacteria. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of two different unidentified bacteria interacting on chicken flesh. One is rod- shaped (left), the other has a more diffuse, clumpy structure (lower right). Raw meat must always be stored correctly and properly cooked, in order to prevent food poisoning by bacteria and other micro-organisms. Magnification: x13,400 at 6x7cm size. x22,000 at 4x5ins
