- Abstract
A freeze-etch study of the molluscum contagiosum virus revealed three-dimensional views of the viral structure. The fractured face of the particles was similar to that seen by the conventional ultrathin-section technique. The surface structure of some mature virus particles showed clear ridges which could not be observed in ultrathin sections.
