No- the plaque assay only measures viable virus particles, while the electron microscope cannot distinguish between defective and viable virus.

Plaque assays are used to count infectious particles. A virus particle that contains insufficient nucleic acid to provide for production of all essential viral components, thus unless in certain conditions, the infection is not caused and is called defective virus.

One example of viable virus is coronavirus. The survival time depends on a number of factors, including the type of surface, temperature, relative humidity and specific strain of the virus

Electron microscope is used for viral diagnosis and it does not require organism-specific reagents for recognizing the pathogenic agent.

Which subtype of type a fibers transmits signals that are interpreted and perceived as pain?
borishaifa [10]

Delta is a type of fibre that transmits signals that are interpreted and perceived as pain.

<h3>Delta fibres</h3>

A delta fibres (also known as A fibres) are a type of sensory fibre. They respond to cold and pressure stimuli, and as nociceptors, their stimulation is perceived as fast/first pain input. Because they are thinly myelinated, they transmit impulses quicker than unmyelinated C fibres but slower than other, thicker myelinated "A" class fibres.

Structure

They have myelinated axons that are thin (2 to 5 m in diameter) and have a moderate conduction velocity, or speed at which a nerve signal moves (2 to 30 m/s). These nerve fibres make up the afferent portion of the reflex arc that causes the body to "draw away" from noxious stimuli because they are linked to acute (sharp) pain (e.g. retracting your hand away from a hot stove). A part of A fibres is also linked to pressure and temperature perception (also known as "cold receptors" in mammals). Contrarily, slow-conducting, unmyelinated C fibres convey gradual, scorching pain.
