We developed a sedimentation method using desktop ultracentrifugation (see description below) to visualize SARS-CoV-2 particles in suspensions from oro- and/or nasopharyngeal swabs by thin section electron microscopy. A detailed description of the methods and the data set is provided in the download container.
\nData set 02 is a stitched image montage recorded from an area of a thin section through the sediment obtained from a swab sample which was positive by quantitative PCR (delta variant). One ciliated cell is visible and surrounded by cellular debris. The ciliated cell is infected with SARS-CoV-2. Few virus particles are visible within membrane-bound compartments of the cytoplasm. Numerous virus particles are located at the cell surface intermingled between the cilia. The virus particles of this cell appear deformed and deviate from the oval/circular profile which is usually present.

Each time a Zenodo user wants to add a record into the community, an email is sent to the curators that will decide whether to include the record or not.
\r\n\r\nOnly records that may be relevant to the Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) or the SARS-CoV-2 should be included in this community. The Community curators are not able to edit records, therefore they may ask the corresponding authors to modify the record metadata when necessary, to provide the readers/users with more detailed information according to the FAIR principle of Open Science.
\r\n\r\nIf after its acceptance, a record is subsequently found not to be compliant, we reserve the right to remove it from the community.
\r\n\r\nThe curation team is reachable through the following email address for further clarification or information: covid19@openaire.eu.
