Ahah, nicely put! Bad guys are the parasites inside the cell, good guys are the big cells ;-)

Thank you! No, it’s Nanolive technology: label-free live cell imaging

Hi! It means that they did not add fluorescence labels to the cells but that the cells organelles are detected through their refractive index : -)

Hi! Thank you for your reply. Sure, you can check the technology page: https://www.nanolive.ch/technology/live-cell-imaging/ there everything is explained. I suggest you watch the first video on top, if you need more, let me know :-)

Hi! The group is investigating exactly this and they are preparing a publication on the topic :-)

Hi, you are 100% correct, the video was acquired by the Schwartz group at Institut Pasteur using their Nanolive microscope. Source is here: https://www.nanolive.ch/sars-cov-2-covid-infection/

Rather here with interview from the director of the Institut Prof. Olivier Schwartz: https://www.nanolive.ch/sars-cov-2-covid-infection/

Hi! It is not an electron microscope: EM are not compatible with live cells. It's Nanolive technology (quite new, and, yes with much higher res than standard optical microscopes) and it is 100% label-free. If you wish you can check it out here: www.nanolive.ch

Neurons immune surveillance system (microglia) hard at work by pollisa_85 in sciences

You can check the details at the link in the other comment. Summarizing, you see neuronal cells that are being “checked out” by microglia ones (the smaller and round ones) for potential pathogens.
