Transmission Electron Micrograph (TEM) reveals some of the morphologic details displayed by the Irituia strain of the Changuinola virus, a member of the genus, Orbiviruses, which is one of nine genera of the virus family known as the Reoviridae. The Changuinola virus inhabits Panama and northern South America. The Irituia virion, consists of a capsid, which is not enveloped, and which is spherical in shape, 60-80nm in diameter. The core consists of ten segments of double-stranded RNA. The Irituia virus has been classified as a Biosafety Level-2 pathogen. As an arbovirus, Changuinola virus is s

RM2BE0JFD–Negative stain, Transmission Electron Micrograph (TEM) reveals the presence of numerous negative-sense, single-stranded RNA ((-) ssRNA) vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) particles. Note the bullet-like shape of these virions, which are very similar to other Rhabdoviruses. Magnification: unknown.

RMKW0YJW–This transmission electron micrograph (TEM) reveals the morphologic traits of the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). The virion is variable in shape, and size (average diameter of between 120-300nm). RSV is the most common cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia among infants and children under 1 year of age.

RM2BE0JD4–Transmission Electron Micrograph (TEM) reveals some of the ultrastructural morphology exhibited by two Adenovirus-2 virions. The sample had been pelleted, thereby, concentrating the viral particles prior to viewing under the microscope. Visible at this high magnification are the capsomeress, which in this case were hexagonally-shaped, also called hexons, and which together comprised the outer covering of the adenovirus known as a capsid. These adenoviruses displayed an icosahedral symmetry, which means that the shape was characterized by 12 vertices, and 20 facets. Each virion was 70nm-80nm, a

RMK1F961–Under a magnification of 43, 700X, this transmission electron micrograph (TEM) created from a whole preparation of Legionella pneumophila bacteria that had been negatively stained using uranyl acetate, and grown on bacteriologic medium, reveals L. pneumophila organisms reproducing, undergoing the process of cell division, as well as delineating the bacterium?s outer envelope. Legionnaires' disease can have symptoms like many other forms of pneumonia, so it can be hard to diagnose at first. Signs of Legionnaires' disease can include:.

RM2BE0JD6–Transmission Electron Micrograph (TEM) reveals numerous, spheroid-shaped Enterovirus 68 (EV68, EV-D68, HEV68) visions which are a member of the Picornaviridae family, an enterovirus. First isolated in California in 1962 and once considered rare, it has been on a worldwide upswing in the 21st century. With some uncertainty, it has been implicated in cases of a polio-like disorder called acute flaccid myelitis. Acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) is a neurologic illness of sudden onset in children. It presents with localized limb weakness of unknown cause. Enterovirus 68, which as a member of the enter
