The bacterial capsule of Bacillus anthracis seen in the spleen of a cow which had died of anthrax was studied electron microscopically. It was visible around bacteria which had been fixed in a ruthenium red-containing fixative. It was composed of electron-dense spikes and extended outwards from the bacterial surface. It was not found around bacteria which had been treated with a fixative devoid of ruthenium red. Bacteria were seen scattered among blood cells. They were not phagocytized by neutrophils or macrophages.
对死于炭疽的奶牛脾脏中炭疽芽孢杆菌的细菌荚膜进行了电子显微镜研究。在固定于含钌红固定剂中的细菌周围可见到荚膜。它由电子致密的刺突组成，从细菌表面向外延伸。在用不含钌红的固定剂处理的细菌周围未发现荚膜。可见细菌散在于血细胞之间。它们未被中性粒细胞或巨噬细胞吞噬。
