Caption:
Under a magnification of 900X, and observed using the phase-contrast microscopy technique, this sample contained Treponema pallidum spirochetes, as well as debris associated with the culture within which these organisms were grown. This image was captured prior to the use of a technique known as continuous particle electrophoresis (CPE), which would have removed the debris, and provided a clean specimen, that contained pure T. pallidum organisms.
