Image Coronavirus Under Microscope. For the most up-to-date news and information about the coronavirus pandemic, visit the WHO website. This isn't quite as sharp as the first one, but you can see the spikes on the surface Viruses in the coronavirus family only have small differences in their genome, with only five nucleotide differences between three of the viruses.
The image above was captured with a transmission electron microscope. The microscopes work by focusing a beam of electrons onto the sample, and then detect either the reflected electrons (scanning) or those. Scientists hope that cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), an expensive technique that allows scientists to study The world is on red alert as a novel coronavirus spreads throughout China and has jumped to a dozen other countries.

The horseshoe bat and the pangolin have both been implicated, but the precise sequence of events is unknown.
This scanning electron microscope image shows the new coronavirus (yellow) among human cells (blue, pink and purple). English: Coronaviruses are a group of viruses that have a halo, or crown-like (corona) appearance when viewed under an electron microscope. Additional specimens are being tested to learn more about this.
