But new images of the virus show us what it looks like up close. These images were made using scanning and transmission electron microscopes at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious ...

"The interaction with a host cell is dynamic and transient for influenza viruses. In addition, associated processes occur at the nanoscale, requiring super-resolution microscopes for a more ...

The electron microscope reveals that these infectious particles possess three principal types of symmetry. Each species of virus is ingeniously assembled from just a few kinds of building block By ...

Scripps Research scientists used a cryo-electron microscope to create this image of a piece of the potentially deadly Lassa virus. (Hailee Perrett, Scripps Research) The “resolution revolution ...

Known as giant viruses, they are much bigger than the typical variety and visible under a regular light microscope, rather than a more powerful electron microscope — which makes them a good ...

A research team from National Taiwan University has developed a new electron microscopy technique that enables sensitive ...

The common cold sore virus, which is often caught in childhood, usually stays in the body for life – quietly dormant in the nerves.

This is a leaf surface under a scanning electron microscope. Both types of electron ... a better understanding of how pathogens, such as viruses, invade cells, like these HIV particles budding ...
