Wie beobachtet man Viren bei ihrem Zusammenbau?

Understanding interaction of viruses with the host organism is crucial for fighting global pandemics as well as life-threatening diseases in humans and animals. This understanding requires among other things direct visualization of viruses and viral structures inside infected cells. Only electron microscopy (EM) provides a sufficient resolution for this. Using a herpesvirus and SARS-CoV-2 as an example, this article high-lights EM as an important and versatile method in virus research.
