Modern Uses of Electron Microscopy for Detection of Viruses
Immune EM has been used to identify elusive viruses that may not be grown in cell culture, such as by using antiserum to detect papillomavirus in wart material , and new, previously unidentified viruses have been detected by using convalescent-phase serum to …
Viral detection by electron microscopy: past, present and future
Viruses are very small and most of them can be seen only by TEM (transmission electron microscopy). TEM has therefore made a major contribution to virology, including the discovery of many viruses, the diagnosis of various viral infections and fundamental investigations of virus—host cell interactions.
Virus detection by transmission electron microscopy: Still useful …
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is the only imaging technique allowing the direct visualization of viruses, due to its nanometer‐scale resolution. Between the 1960s and 1990s, TEM contributed to the discovery of many types of viruses and ...
Five techniques we’re using to uncover the secrets of viruses
2020年8月26日 · But we can use microscopes to see the damage viruses do to our cells. We call this “ cytopathic effect ”, and comparing infected cells to uninfected ones enables us to detect the presence of...
Electron Microscopy Methods for Virus Diagnosis and High …
2019年1月6日 · In combination with confocal laser scanning microscopy, EM enables live imaging of cells and tissues with high-resolution analysis. Here, we describe the pivotal role played by EM in the study of viruses, from structural analysis to the …
Electron Microscopy of Viruses - ScienceDirect
2010年1月1日 · Diagnostic electron microscopy of viruses is used in plant and veterinary pathology and in particular infectious diseases of humans, often after other methods have failed or if an independent control is necessary (Biel and Gelderblom, 1999a). It provides an open view on the sample without the need for specific probes, like antibodies or nucleic ...
Modern Uses of Electron Microscopy for Detection of Viruses
2009年10月1日 · Electron microscopy, considered by some to be an old technique, is still on the forefront of both clinical viral diagnoses and viral ultrastructure and pathogenesis studies. In the diagnostic setting, it is particularly valuable in the surveillance of emerging diseases and potential bioterrorism viruses.

2010年1月1日 · Electron microscopy is widely used in virology because viruses are generally too small for a direct inspection by light microscopy. Analysis of virus morphology is necessary in many circumstances, e.g., for the diagnosis of a virus in particular clinical situations or the analysis of virus entry and assembly.
