Caption:
This atomic force microscopic (AFM) image revealed a gross thickening of the SARS Coronavirus infected Vero E6 culture cell’s cytoplasmic skeletal microfilaments (arrow) located just beneath the Vero cell plasma cell membrane. Though visible here, in this phase AFM phase, this phenomenon is best viewed in the AFM height image (PHIL 6420), and the AFM amplitude image (PHIL 6422), which clearly show the cytoskeletal filaments parallel to the cell edge.
