Caption:
Under a magnification of 200X, this photomicrograph of a hematoxylin-eosin (H&E)-stained occipital lobe brain tissue specimen, revealed the presence of a chronic inflammatory actinomycotic sulfur granule in a case of actinomycosis, caused by a Gram-positive, fungus-like, aerobic bacterium of the genus, Actinomyces. See PHIL 18714, for another view of this granule under a much lower magnification.
