Scanning electron micrograph of cultured HeLa cells infected with adenovirus, taken in 1976. These cells were originally from Henrietta Lacks and were first grown in the laboratory of Dr Gey in 1951. A light micrograph (x130) of the same cells (inset) reveals rounded double cells in the center, in the process of dividing.
