As Lauren continues observing the bacteriophage (or phage), she takes the time to record her observations in her lab notebook. This phage looks different than other viruses she has worked with previously. It doesn't have a helical capsid, or an envelope! Lauren pulls out her reference textbook and starts to draw the various components that she can see. Luckily, her book also gives her further information about each piece of the phage and how it functions.
