  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The morphology of purified, mature &lt;i&gt;Myxosoma cerebralis&lt;/i&gt; spores was examined by thin-section electron microscopy. Surface architecture corresponded closely to that described in an earlier scanning electron microscopy study of this organism (Lom and Hoffman, 1971). A uniformly thick spore wall is composed of finely granular, electron-lucent material. Intrawall "valvoplasm" at the sutural border region contains small, light spheroidal profiles with dense centers situated in a background matrix; such structures are absent in the intermediate wall areas. Ovoid polar capsules contain complex filamentous profiles within the peripheral matrix region. Individual filaments appear twisted into S-shaped configurations and contain moderately electron-opaque material within their lumina.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
