Observations of Microsporum canis with cryoscanning and scanning electron microscopy

The observations of Microsporum canis with cryoscanning and scanning electron microscopy without fixation and dehydration were reported. In the former an almost native state was observed through showing some fuzzy outlines due to frost; in the latter it was shown that marked shrinkage and distortion had occured. There were many granules on the surface of the macroconidia though their function is uncertain.
