(A, B) Scanning electron microscopy images, showing upper surface and inner content of multilayers of dehydrated D. radiodurans cells deposited on aluminum plates. (C, D) Higher magnification images displaying upper surface of multilayers of dehydrated cells of D. radiodurans. (E, F) Magnified images of tetracocci and diplococci of D. radiodurans taken from the inner part of dehydrated multilayers.
