Artist Luke Jerram makes exact glass replicas of harmful viruses, prions and bacteria. Each replica is about 1,000,000 times the size of the actual virus.



From top to bottom, left to right: Swine Flu, E. Coli, T4 Bacteriophage and a Human Papilloma (HPV).


Take a look at the rest of the gallery for Malaria, Smallpox, SARS and HIV.
