What shapes do virus assume?
Viruses can be helical and icosahedral forms or even more complex structures. Most viruses are about one one-hundredth the size of the average bacterium.
How do you calculate the actual size of the bacterium?
Bacterium size is measured by a technique called Micrometry. With micrometry you can measured the size of very small beings like bacteria, cells, etc. This technique involves the use of a microscope in which the eye piece is calibrated in micrometers. A similarly calibrated slide is used for standardization. The specimen is then mounted and the size measured. Normally, the size of many cells are taken into account and an average value is taken, since all cells may not be of the same size.
