Column: Transmission (first), fluorescent (second), photothermal microscopy (PTM) (third), and integrated (fourth) images of mouse blood cells.

(c) Maturated schizont stage (24 h after infection) with many parasites and Hz. (d) Hz in WBC with no signs of parasites and Hz in RBCs (24 h after infection).
