Bilderna är tagna med transmissions elektron mikroskop på UCEM.<br/><br/>Coronavirus är producerade från cellkultur av Ebba Rosendal och Anna Överby. Anna Överby är gruppledare på Klinisk Mikrobiologi. Virus är kemiskt fixerade och kontrasterade med tungmetall salt, metoden kallas negative staining. Bilder är tagna med elektronmikroskopet Talos L120 och kamera Ceta (båda tillverkade av Thermo Fisher Scientific). En viruspartikel är ungefär 100 nm i diameter.
