False color SEM of Aspergillus sp conidiophore. I lost the source on this so if someone has it, please send it my way!

Apologies for the slow goings lately; I’ve had a mess of things on my plate (pun intended). Hopefully things will pick up soon.

SEM of bacteria in deer stool.

I picked it for the campylobacter-like organisms in there (brown corkscrews). Despite being fastidious and sometimes tricky to grow, a good lab should be able to isolate more Campylobacter sp. than shigella and salmonella combined since it is the most common bacterial cause of diarrhea in humans.

Coloured SEM of a macrophage engulfing a mauve Leishmania sp. parasite.
