Experts made a photomicrograph of a monkey kidney cell (Vero E6) after infection with the omicron strain.
The image was published on the website of the organization at low and high magnification.
Scientists said that at low magnification, the image shows damage to cells with swollen vesicles containing small black viral particles.
The high-magnification image shows aggregates of viral particles with corona-shaped spikes on their surface.
Earlier, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said that it is necessary to prepare for any scenario of the development of the situation in connection with the spread of the omicron strain.
