Caption:
Under 970X magnification, this photomicrograph of a slide culture shows the morphologic features of the fungal organism Exophiala jeanselmei (formerly known as Phialophora jeanselmei). Characteristic hyphal swellings and conidiogenous cells (annelides) are present, from which clusters of ellipsoidal conidia arise. This specimen was isolated from a case of mycetoma and donated in 1955 by Dr. N.E. Levan. See PHIL 23775 and PHIL 23776 for additional views of this organism from other regions of the culture.
