JANE KELLEY was thinking about Adhd and keyed into cyberspace:
JK>MP>JK>Finding a virus is just about an impossible job. They are very,
JK>MP>JK>very tiny when compared to other microbes.  I had a researcher
JK>MP>JK>as a patient one time at Swedish who told me what had to be
JK>MP>JK>done.  It is worse than looking for a needle in a haystack! At
JK>MP>JK>least the needle can be seen.
JK>MP>Jane, I deal with a virus every day. Your information is woefully
JK>MP>out of date. The use of various types of electron microscopes,
JK>MP>etc. has made the job quite easy.
JK>I was told that the virus itself isn't seen, the "shadow" it makes
JK>is. If this is now untrue, what is? And why does it still take a long
JK>time to find any "new" virus?
It is an electron image. Sort of like a "shadow". 
As for finding a new virus, I have no solid experience. My bugs are well 
known, and really are easy to find. They are quite plentiful.
However, to find a new virus, you first have to find a location where 
they might be. The area scanned by a e-scope is so small it makes 
anything, even the area scanned, hard to find.
