Maltess cross seen on polarizing microscopy in
Ans. is 'a' i.e., Cryptococcus neoformans Maltese cross pattern under palarized light is seen in :- Babesia, Cryptococcus, Aspergillus nidulans, starch granules and lipid (cholesterol) droplets. "Fungal ball due to Aspergillus nidulans have a propensity to produce pale staining thick walled non-ble null cells that show maltese cross bifringence when examined under polarized light". "On polarized light the spores in cryptococcus give maltese cross appearance". - Atals of deep mycosis "Babesia microti is associated with maltese cross forms and ring forms". - Barbara J. Bain "Starch granules and fat (cholesterol) droplets produce maltese cross pattern in polarized light".
