Microscopic Differentiation
To examine the organisms, lift the top film and pick the colony from the gel
(fig. 10). Transfer the colony to a drop of water on a microscope slide, cover
with a coverslip, and view under oil immersion (fig. 11). Look for oval-
shaped budding yeast (fig. 12) and for mold—both its branching mycelium
(fig. 13) and its germinating spores (fig. 14).
