Method Time lapse analysis
Comments Time-lapse analyses of microtubule-dependent movements of viral particles such as vaccinia virus (ref 13), adenovirus (ref 1, 14) or influenza virus (ref 4) revealed maximum speeds ranging from approx 0.2 to 2 µm/s. For speed of myosin dependent movement see BNID 104713
