Image 1: Fluorescence microscopy image of a two cell cluster of Caco-2 cells (human colon cells) infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus, the causative agent of COVID-19. Infected cells produce filopodia protrusions (white) extending out from the cell surface containing viral particles (viral N protein in red).

Image 2: Electron microscopy image of Vero E6 cells infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus, the causative agent of COVID-19. Infected cells produce filopodia protrusions (orange) extending out from the cell surface to enable budding of viral particles (blue) and infection of nearby cells.
