Advanced microscopy technologies enable rapid response to SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic
The ongoing SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic with over 80 million infections and more than a million deaths worldwide represents the worst global health crisis of the 21th century. Beyond the health crisis, the disruptions caused by the COVID‐19 pandemic have serious global socio‐economic consequences. It has al...

description | The ongoing SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic with over 80 million infections and more than a million deaths worldwide represents the worst global health crisis of the 21th century. Beyond the health crisis, the disruptions caused by the COVID‐19 pandemic have serious global socio‐economic consequences. It has also placed a significant pressure on the scientific community to understand the virus and its pathophysiology and rapidly provide anti‐viral treatments and procedures in order to help the society and stop the virus spread. Here, we outline how advanced microscopy technologies such as high‐throughput microscopy and electron microscopy played a major role in rapid response against SARS‐CoV‐2. General applicability of developed microscopy technologies makes them uniquely positioned to act as the first line of defence against any emerging infection in the future. |
