'Bubblegram' Imaging: Novel Approach to View Inner Workings of Viruses

Reference: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/01/120112151611.htm

Summary: Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), is a technique that allows scientists to image very small particles, such as structures on the surface of viruses. The method has been useful in helping researchers understand how vaccines work, but, despite the success of cryo-EM, scientists have been unable to clearly visualize structures inside of viruses, cause the radiation is used to image them.

Critique: It was a good acrticle but didn't realize that there is a virus that is magenta and has bubbles.

Impact: it could damage that DNA cause it is possibly sensitive and hurt us inside.
