A diagram and model of a virus particle (virion) in cross section, constructed using styled typography. Includes the location and relationships of a typical virus structure — lipid bilayer envelope membrane (with glycoproteins and matrix proteins), nucleocapsid with icosahedral protein capsid and nucleic acid genome. A visual-learning aid and infographic for microbiology and virology.
