Electron tomography of negatively stained complex viruses: application in their diagnosis

Additional file 1:

Tomogram of a parapoxvirus. The video shows a negatively stained virion of the Orf parapoxvirus, a section of which is shown in Figure 1C. Each frame of the movie corresponds to a 0.44 nm-thick digital section through the tomogram moving along the tomographic Z-axis (Total Depth nm). Observe the semi-parallel orientation of the surface threads.
