A glow under blabs light would be consistent with either a self-luminescent product or one with fluorescence. I don’t know what it actually means in this case.
Are synthetic RNA bases fluorescent? Or is this bioluminescence? Or something else entirely?

It probably has chunks of glowing protein called (GASP! SHUDDER!) luciferase in it, especially if it is in a lab and not a production facility. This is done so the person manipulating or observing the virus (which, contrary to some opinions, does have a regular, replicable, described structure) sections can see them and how they interact with their environment. We've been through this girl and her video before, and luciferases which were described in 1960.
Trying to find just how many atoms in one covid-19 unit is not readily available. Lots. Some redditors trying to figure it out estimate millions. Here's an article from a serious lab that doesn't give an exact amount, only counts the separate identifiable proteins and fragments, and why scientists care: how does it replicate? How does it spread? https://cen.acs.org/biological-chemistry/infectious-disease/know-novel-coronaviruss-29-proteins/98/web/2020/04 Each part, each protease and protein, is a big chunk of atoms. Markers like luciferase make the chunks distinguishable. When even a scanning electron microscope just shows the whole unit, it would be impossible without markers.

This is another way to work out the structure, by mapping the neutrons in * a part* of it: https://www.ornl.gov/news/neutrons-chart-atomic-map-covid-19s-viral-replication-mechanism. Again, only some parts of atoms are being mapped
