Tracking data from the Johns Hopkins University website in the United States shows that as of 7 am on the 24th in Beijing, at least 2,1162,294 people have died from the SARS-CoV-2 (CCP virus) epidemic and at least 98,572,942 cases have been confirmed. The complete 3D image of the pathogen SARS-CoV-2 was exposed for the first time recently.

According to comprehensive media reports, the multinational team recently successfully scanned the first complete 3D stereoscopic image model of the pathogen. The team from Tsinghua University in Beijing, China took 41 complete photos of the pathogen from various angles through a cryo-electron microscope and transferred them to "Saudi Arabia Abudu King Raja University of Science and Technology" conducts analysis and constructs virus 3D images.

Then it was handed over to the company "Nanographics", founded by scientists at the Vienna University of Technology, to post-produce the original images, and successfully revealed the true appearance of the virus closest to the exposure.

The film produced by "Nanographics" shows that the pathogen is like a blossoming flower, but its bright colours are post-production by the research team to distinguish the various parts of the virus.

They chose bright pink on the spikes of the pathogen to indicate that they are part of the virus and are responsible for attaching to and infecting host cells. The rest of the viruses are shown in cold colors, indicating that the virus is not a living thing.

"Nanographics" said that the perception of colour comes from wavelength reflection. The size of the virus is only 100 nanometers, which is much smaller than the 380 nanometer wavelength range visible to humans, so the virus has no colour.
