When light passes through this lens, it is bent toward the optical axis, which is the direction in which the light was traveling, and is generally perpendicular to the optical element. Depending on the power of the lens, the light that passes through it will .....

nucleocapsid, which is a protein coat and the nucleic acid it encloses, and a
host cell membrane, which is a lipoprotein unit that surrounds the virus and

University of California at San Francisco isolated a retrovirus from
people with AIDS and individuals having contact with people with AIDS.
All three groups of scientists isolated what is now known as human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes AIDS.
