Fig.1 — A 512×512 digital image of a sample of crude human cervical mucus: (a) 28-nm fluorescent polystyrene beads bound to the mucus shows filamentous bundles in the mucus; (b) Fourier Transform of the image in Fig.1a confirms alignment of the bundles; (c) Fourier Transform of an image of HIV-virions embedded in the mucus indicates alignment of the virions, most likely along filamentous bundles similar to those shown in Fig.1a.
