Coronavirus: The first real photo of SARS-CoV-2 (video-photo)

The creation of structural models of the coronavirus contributes greatly to scientific research by shedding much light on how the disease spreads

Newsroom January 19 01:08

This is not a computer model but the first coronavirus photograph of the virus that has turned the world upside-down.

The researchers were able to capture the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes Covid-19 disease, for the first time with their lens, which is even visible in 3D.

Behind the discovery is the Austrian company “Nanographics”, a branch of the Technical University of Vienna, which used new technology to visualize the virus in 3D with the help of frozen samples.
