| Illustrated in this photograph is a "green lawn" colony of Gliocladium species. The other hyaline mold that produces this type of colony is: | View Page |
| The fungus illustrated in this photomicrograph was recovered from an induced sputum specimen from a 74 year old man with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This isolate is most likely: | View Page |
| The hyaline mold illustrated in this photomicrograph can be identified as: | View Page |
| Illustrated in this photomicrograph are fruiting heads of Trichoderma species. Note the single, long, tapered phialides (red arrows), extending laterally from either side of the hyphae, one of the key identifying features of this fungus. Another hyaline mold that produces long tapered phialides is: | View Page |
| The hyaline saprobic fungus that has microscopic features similar to the mold form of Histoplasma capsulatum is: | View Page |
| The hyaline saprobic fungus that has microscopic features similar to the mold form of Coccidioides immitis is: | View Page |
| Several saprophytic, hyaline molds have microscopic characteristics that mimic the mold forms of the dimorphic fungi (Histoplasma capsulatum, Blastomyces dermatitidis, etc.). Each of the following can be used to differentiate the saprophytic from the dimorphic fungi except: | View Page |
| The most helpful feature in differentiating the Zygomycetes from the other hyaline molds in the clinical mycology laboratory is: | View Page |
| Match each hyaline mold from the drop-down list to its corresponding colony and microscopic description. The mold colonies are illustrated in the image on the right. | View Page |
| Match each hyaline mold from the drop-down list to its corresponding microscopic and colony description. The microscopic appearance of the molds are illustrated in the image on the right. | View Page |

| The type of sporulation of the dematiaceous mold that is illustrated in this photomicrograph is called: | View Page |
| The dematiaceous fungus that may produce both acrotheca and rhinocladiella types of sporulation is: | View Page |
| The chain of conidia illustrated in this photomicrograph, with the deep-staining truncated bases, are called annelloconidia, and are most characteristic of: | View Page |
| Use the following urinalysis report to answer:The patient was a female and the examination was completed within two hours of collection. Color - light yellow Appearance - slightly turbid Sp. Gravity - 1.009 pH - 8 Glucose (Multistix) - 0 Glucose (Clinitest) - 0 Protein - 1+ Blood - 0 WBC - 5/HPF RBC - 1/HPF Epithelial - 0/HPF Casts - 2 hyaline/LPF Crystals - amorphous urates Bacteria - 2+True or false? The results are abnormal but all results correlate. | View Page |
| Hyaline Casts Under High Power The same field under high power shows clear cylinders with parallel sides and rounded ends. Note that some casts appear broader than others. Their size is proportionate to the width of the tubule in which they were formed. | View Page |
| Coarse Granular Casts Coarse granular casts lose detail under phase contrast and become more difficult to identify. Conversely, the hyaline cast is distinctly visible under phase contrast.
A hyaline case is visible just left of center in this image, and a coarse granular cast is negatively outlined on the left. | View Page |
| Cylindroids The formation of casts at the distal convoluted tubule may produce structures with a tapering end, referred to as cylindroids. These cylindroids have the same significance as casts and are frequently hyaline. | View Page |
| High Power of Enterobius vermicularis Ova On high power brightfield, the larva of Enterobius vermicularis can be seen within the thick hyaline shell. The egg measures 25 X 55 microns. | View Page |
