Caption:
Under a magnification of 100X, this photomicrograph 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. The specimen had been prepared using the lactophenol cotton blue staining method. Note the numerous spheroid spores located within the internal confines of the curlicue shaped hair shaft.
