Abstract

The purpose of this review is to provide information of the role played by electron microscopy in respect of bacteriophage structure. This 40 years' "love story" between phages and microscopy was a valuable contribution to the progress of scientific knowledge in molecular biology. In spite of the rather drastic treatment required for electron microscopical analysis, it was possible to reveal the molecular organization and morphogenic pathway of many of the bacteriophages cited in this paper.
