Virus one million times
Drew Berry and Justin Muir, WEHI
How do we see the unseeable?
Our bodies contain extraordinary defence mechanisms to protect us from deadly invaders. Bacteria, parasites and viruses are constantly trying to attacking our bodies. With the help of antibodies in our blood we can fight them off.
View the beautiful, scientifically accurate molecular visualisations of the ten most important human viruses, magnified one million times by the lens of the glass bricks. Watch as swarms of antibodies flutter and attack in a kaleidoscope of colour.
What can we learn from the micro?
