Abstract:
Fowl adenovirus particles were studied using negative stain electron microscopy. Upon preparation, some particles collapsed and showed their internal structure. The DNA could be observed as thin parallel lines with a spacing of 25 A, very similar to images of the liquid crystalline DNA in bacteriophage heads and in herpes virus.
