Cytomorphology of Aspergillus in bronchial brushing samples processed using the SurePath LCT platform or conventional cytopathology, followed by GMS staining. The mycelium of Aspergillus appeared brown-black after GMS staining. Magnification, 400X. (A) Conventional GMS on sputum samples; (B) LCT-based GMS on sputum samples; (C) Conventional GMS on bronchial brushing samples; (D) LCT-based GMS on bronchial brushing samples. LCT: Liquid-based cytopathology; GMS: Grocott’s Methenamine Silver.
