From: An ultrastructural study of Trichophyton rubrum induced onychomycosis
a. T. rubrum TEM observation. The image showed the longitudinal, coronal and chamfered surfaces of hyphae and longitudinal section of hyphae branches. The hyphae were constituted by bilateral cell walls, the outer cell wall (OCW) and the inner cell wall (ICW). The longitudinal section of hyphae branches showed visible septal (S), liposomes (L) and lysosomes (Ls). There were high-density particles outside the hyphae. (TEM, × 15000). b. TEM image of the longitudinal section of T. rubrum hyphae showed double-layer cell walls, visible nucleus (N), liposomes (L), the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and myeloid body (Mb). (TEM, × 50000). c: TEM image of coronal section of T. rubrum hyphae showed double-layer cell walls, the outer cell wall (OCW) and the inner cell wall (ICW), nucleus (N), the nucleolus (Nu), liposomes (L), mitochondria (M) and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). (TEM, × 70000). d: TEM image of coronal section of T. rubrum hyphae showed mitochondria (M) and ribosomes (G). (TEM, × 100000)
