(A) Wet mount showing characteristic clue cells. Note that the epithelial cells are so heavily covered by bacteria as to obscure the margins.
(B) A clue cell. The vaginal epithelial cell on the right has shaggy borders obscured by coccobacilli (1003 magnification). The more normal appearing epithelial cell on the left has sharper borders.
