When looking at the internet representations
of the virus it will become obvious that the enemy is too small
to be represented by actual photomicrographs, or at least that
the real electron microscope images are definitely drastically
less attractive than all those computer simulated images.
Some of the virus images even look like like fantasy cakes from a pastry shop
or like extremely colorful knitting work products.
In a few upcoming magazine issues we will illustrate the fact that
the corona virus size is in fact very close to the resolution limit
of the classical light microscope. In theory, this virus might
become visible in a light microscope too, though only as a dot - without
any further structural fineness. This will be demonstrated on the basis
of the Blu-ray disc, the pits and lands of which can be actually resolved
by a classical high-res light microscope (though some scholarly publications
are trying to tell the contrary).
