Abstract
Cultures of L. icterohemorrhagiae and L. canicola were studied by means of the RCA electron microscope and reproduced at a magnification of about 10,000x. Flagella-like structures, internal structure and extruding granules were not observed in the case of the Leptospiras as were observed by the authors in cultures of Treponema pallidum, Nichols strain. The width of the cell body varied from 0.07 to 0.14[mu]. The spirals were about 0.25[mu] wide with a pitch of 0.3 to 0.6[mu].
