The negative staining technique was used to study the morphology of two rotaviruses, the epizootic diarrizootic diarrhoea of infant mice (EDIM) and the simian virus SA II. It is proposed that the inner capsid of the virion has icosahedral symmetry and consists of 180 morphological units arranged in an open lattice formation with the 12 spaces at the apices being surrounded by 5 capsomeres and the other 80 spaces each surrounded by six capsomeres. The outer capsid of the virion consists of a honeycomb-like lattice which corresponds to the lattice arrangement of the inner capsid.
采用负染色技术研究了两种轮状病毒的形态，即婴儿小鼠流行性腹泻病毒（EDIM）和猿猴病毒SA II。有人提出，病毒粒子的内衣壳具有二十面体对称性，由180个形态学单位组成，呈开放晶格排列，顶点处的12个空隙被5个壳粒包围，其他80个空隙每个被6个壳粒包围。病毒粒子的外衣壳由类似蜂窝状的晶格组成，与内衣壳的晶格排列相对应。
