The modal length of an isolate of apple chlorotic leafspot virus (CLSV) from Prunus domestica was determined by serologically specific electron microscopy. Particles adsorbed from leaf sap extracts (modal length c. 825 nm) were longer than those adsorbed from purified virus preparations (modal length c. 795 nm). Particles of a CLSV isolate from apple, however, had a modal length of only c. 700 nm.
