Caption:
This digitally colorized scanning electron microscopic (SEM) image revealed the thickened, layered edge of SARS infected Vero E6 culture cells. The thickened edges of the infected cells were ruffled, and appeared to be comprised of layers of folded plasma membranes. Note the layered cell edge (arrows). Virus particles (arrowheads) are extrude from the layered surfaces.
