Figure Lengend Snippet: The infection process by conidia of A. fumigatus CCF6600 in the Galleria mellonella larvae, 3 h, 24 h, and 48 h post-injection. Conidia (indicated by arrow) survived the effect of the innate immune system of larvae in nodules, and after 48 h post-infection, they germinated. Calcofluor white stained nodules were visualized by 400× magnification (excitation/emission 350/461 nm).
Article Snippet: Nodules were immediately examined using a microscope Axio Imager A1 (Zeiss, Germany) – 400 × magnification, fluorescence detected using excitation/emission wavelength 365/440 nm (X-Cite 120Q lamp, Excelitas Technologies, USA) with photo documentation equipment Axiocam ICC 1 and AxioVision 4.8 software.
