| Peritoneal Macrophages 'in vitro' Left=A cultured macrophage as seen by Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM) showing numerous folds of the cytoplasmic membrane. Right=Light microscopy of cultured macrophages in the presence of a suspension of fungal conidia. Despite processing and staining PAS, the conidia are firmly adherent to cytoplasmic folds, presumably due to the occurrence of receptors. |
