High-resolution and rapid imaging of host cell ultrastructure can generate insights toward viral disease mechanism, for example for a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Here, we employ full-rotation soft X-ray tomography (SXT) to examine organelle remodeling induced by SARS-CoV-2 at the whole-cell level with high spatial resolution and throughput. Most of the current SXT systems suffer from a restricted field of view due to use of flat sample supports and artifacts due to missing data. In this approach using cylindrical sample holders, a full-rotation tomogram of human lung epithelial cells is performed in less than 10 min. We demonstrate the potential of SXT imaging by visualizing aggregates of SARS-CoV-2 virions and virus-induced intracellular alterations. This rapid whole-cell imaging approach allows us to visualize the spatiotemporal changes of cellular organelles upon viral infection in a quantitative manner. Soft X-ray tomography enables label-free imaging of organelle morphology Cylindrical sample holders enable capture of a full-rotation tomogram of large cells Tomogram obtained rapidly within 10 min Whole-cell quantitative phenotypic analysis of SARS-CoV-2-induced alterations The analysis of 3D architecture of infected cells is critical for understanding the mechanisms of viral diseases. Fluorescence and electron microscopy techniques, in particular, focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) have been extensively used to image the 3D structure of cells. However, although FIB-SEM achieves superior spatial resolution, the method remains low throughput: an entire mammalian cell at 8 nm isotropic voxel size takes about a week to image and generates an enormous amount of data that is daunting to analyze. To overcome these limitations, a whole-cell imaging technique with minimal sample preparation and rapid image acquisition is required for quantitative analysis of structural changes induced in virus-infected cells. High-resolution, rapid imaging techniques are needed to analyze 3D cell architecture for understanding viral disease mechanisms. Here, Loconte et al. use soft X-ray tomography to rapidly image SARS-CoV-2-infected whole cells, opening avenues to analyze virus-cell interactions and efficacy of antiviral drugs in statistically significant numbers.
