a Medium after incubation. Images on the left represent the expected growth, a black sediment in a clear medium (positive). Central images show a false positive growth where the sediment does either not agglomerate or is hardly discernable in a dark medium of a color similar to the non-seeded control at the beginning of the incubation. Images on the right show the absence of growth (negative). b Light microscopic image of HLC (left) and under polarized light (right) at 1000x amplification, showing typical depolarization, absent in atypical deposits.
