Photomicrograph of Saprolegnia or watermold showing hyphae and oogonia with sexual oospores. Magnification: 100x.

A photomicrograph of a prepared slide showing Saprolegnia or watermold, stained blue and magnified 100x. Hyphae appear as blue, thread-like filaments, while oogonia appear as nearly spherical sacs containing numerous, dark-blue, sexual oospores (smaller blue sphears). Immature oogonia appear solid blue and do not contain visible oospores. Antheridia are difficult to locate.
