Caption:
This highly magnified transmission electron micrograph (TEM) reveals the ultrastructure of a coronavirus (CoV) virion, including its pleomorphic morphology and the spike projections extending from the virion’s envelope. These projections give the particles a crown-like appearance, from which the name coronavirus is derived.
