Caption:
This photomicrograph reveals the presence of numerous Pneumocystis jirovecii, formerly Pneumocystis carinii, fungal organisms, in a tissue sample, which had undergone the process of cellular sonication, also known as sonoporation. The technique of sonication is used to disrupt the cellular architecture in order to release, or separate out intracellular debris, or particles, which in this case, were these cystic-staged parasites.
