Under a magnification of 430X, this photomicrograph of a periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)-stained specimen, revealed some of the pathologic changes that were exhibited by a hair shaft affected by an endothrix infection caused by the dermatophytic fungus, Trichophyton tonsurans. Note the numerous spheroid spores located within the internal confines of the hair shaft.
