A view of the cell anatomy of a microscopic fungus’ zoospore, as shown through UA’s Transmission Electronic Microscope. One species of this type of fungus, known as chytrids, has been implicated in the extinction of more than 150 species of frogs, world-wide. Comparing the cell anatomy of various chytrid zoospores - mechanisms by which they reproduce - is key in identifying different species.

Micrograph of tissue paper. Illumination is by ultraviolet light causing autofluorescence of the fibres, the image was captured through a blue filter to block direct illumination. 9 images manually stitched into a panorama. Individual fibres are ~10 μm wide.
