Microscopy of C. neoformans H99 cells in water and the effect of gamma irradiation on cellular and capsular dimensions. Samples were counterstained with India Ink particles, which are excluded by the dense PS capsule. Cells without gamma irradiation were resuspended in D2O (A) and H2O (B), and cells treated with 40 minutes of gamma irradiation were resuspended in D2O (C) and H2O (D) as well. The cell diameters of all four samples were estimated (E), and capsule thickness for whole cells was obtained as the differences between the radii of cells and cell bodies (F). The t-test analyses are labeled based on their p-value (p > 0.05: ns; p < 0.05: *; p < 0.01: **; p < 0.001: ***; p < 0.0001: ****).
