<prompt> Maltess cross seen on polarizing microscopy inCryptococcus neoformansPenicillium marneffiPenicillium marneffiCandida albicans  <response>: 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.
