At this scale we’d be seeing with electrons not photons, and everything would be gold coated. It’s unlikely the head would be transparent. But other than that, not bad. False color gets applied to the B&W EM images, which helps.
That was my takeaway too. I knew Ebola was a big long shape, so it didn’t stand out much, but then “ohhh of course rabies just randomly looks like invisible nano bullets!”
More or less yes, that’s the type of virus we learned about in biology class at least. Although there are various shapes a virus can have. Like covid that is round or other viruses that look more like bacteria.
Is this what some virus really looks like? It looks like Tron-era CGI.

Rabies is shaped like a bullet!
hmm yes rabies looks like a bullet because once you are shot with it you are dead

Dannng. Cool reference pictures, thanks for sharing.
Complex viruses seem almost too complex to function. Just from a human lead engineering standpoint, I can see so many points of failure
Viruses throw dung at the wall and see what sticks.
A real life genetic algorithm, essentially.

Would you prefer it to have a little hat and mysterious (and unnecessary) white gloves ?
