Figure 9
Scanning electron microscopic images of microcolonies on membranes.
The microcolonies shown in false color are composed of cells of C. albicans (green), E.coli (violet), and B. diminuta (blue). C. albicans colonies are first detected by the Growth Direct System between 2 and 2.5 hours, while E. coli colonies are first detected at around 3 hours. B. diminuta is detected at about 10 hours (colony shown is a 7 hour colony).
