Biologists build better software, beat path to viral knowledge

Biologists build better software, beat path to viral knowledge:

"Developing the software package enabled the team to examine the Epsilon 15 virus, a 'bacteriophage' that infects the salmonella bacterium, and to resolve features as small as 9.5 angstroms across — less than a billionth of a meter. Until now, the high-resolution device, called a cryo-electron microscope, used to examine such objects could only examine the virus's outer shell."
