Let’s look closely at the life cycle of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) – the virus that causes AIDS – to find out. This transmission electron microscopy image shows HIV viral particles (yellow ...

A technique invented by the lab, known as Electron Microscopy-Based Polyclonal Epitope Mapping (EMPEM), lets the researchers see exactly where on the HIV virus antibodies bind. When they carried ...

HIV-1 particles are released from infected ... They used the latest cryo-electron microscopes to image virus particles, and then used computational image analysis to derive very detailed 3D ...

like these HIV particles budding on the surface of a T cell. Now a new type of electron microscope, a tunnelling electron microscope, has even made it possible to see the arrangement of atoms.
