Morphological diversity of the cryptococcal capsule based on SEM analysis of a clinical isolate of C. gattii. (A) SEM image showing the coexistence of different morphotypes, which were classified on the basis of morphological characteristics including fiber abundance, capsule thickness, size and apparent texture. The capsular morphotypes were named regular (B), spiky (C), bald (D), and phantom (E). Scale bars: 10 μm (A) and 5 μm (BE).
