Stereo views of PBCV-1 attached to Chlorella strain NC64A.The cells were quick frozen and deep-etched.

Side view of the particles attached to the cell wall.
Note that the particles are attached to the wall via hairlike fibers, which appear to originate from the vertices of the virus.

See other pictures for Top view.
