The aim of the European Virus Archive project is to create and mobilise a European network of high calibre centres with the appropriate expertise, to collect, amplify, characterise, standardise, authenticate, distribute and track, mammalian and other exotic viruses. The EVA project is establishing a web-based catalogue to advertise and distribute viruses in the collection as well as associated products. In addition the EVA network also produce associated reagents on demand, to laboratories throughout Europe and also worldwide.

Video: Identifying viruses using Electron Microscope and Computer Technology

Electron microscopes use a particle beam of electrons to illuminate a specimen and create a highly-magnified image.

The electron microscope uses electrostatic and electromagnetic lenses in forming the image by controlling the electron beam to focus it at a specific plane relative to the specimen. It has diverse applications in many fields of science and technology, among which virology. to illuminate a specimen and create a magnified image.
