What is the difference between Influenza (Flu) and COVID-19?
Influenza (Flu) and COVID-19 are both contagious respiratory illnesses, but they are caused by different viruses. CovID-19 is caused by infection with a new coronavirus (called SARS-CoV-2) and flu is caused by influenza viruses.
Modern Fluoroscopy Imaging Systems
In modern systems, the fluorescent screen is coupled to an electronic device that amplifies and transforms the glowing light into a video signal suitable for a presentation onto an electronic display.
Some people may think influenza (flu) is just a standard virus that comes around every year. But there are actually four different types of flu viruses, including A, B, C, and D.
Bacteria
Bacteria are ancient, microscopic organisms that are found everywhere on Earth. They are one of the three main branches of the tree of life and have been around for over 3-5 billion years.
