In this paper we present a topological duality for a certain subclass of the Fω-structures defined by M. M. Fidel, which conform to a non-standard semantics for the paraconsistent N. C. A. da Costa logic Cω. Actually, the duality introduced here is focused on Fω-structures whose supports are chains. For our purposes, we characterize every Fω-chain by means of a new structure that we will call down-covered chain (DCC) here. This characterization will allow us to prove the dual equivalence between the category of Fω-chains and a new category, whose objects are certain special topological spaces (together with a distinguished family of open sets) and whose morphisms are particular continuous functions.
We get the following result. A topological space is strongly paracompact if and only if for any monotone increasing open cover of it there exists a star-finite open refinement. We positively answer a question of the strongly paracompact property.

The structure of the human microsporidium found by Yachnis and colleagues in two AIDS patients (Am. J. Clin. Pathol. 106: 535-43, 1996) (hereafter referred to as HMY) was investigated by light and transmission electron microscopy and compared with Thelohania apodemi Doby, Jeannes et Raoult, 1963, a microsporidian of small rodents. The fine structure of the HMY was found to be similar to that of Trachipleistophora hominis Hollister, Canning, Weidner, Field, Kench et Marriott, 1996. Characteristic is the presence of a thick layer of electron dense material on the outer lace of the meront plasmalemma, which is maintained during the whole life cycle and which later persists as an electron dense coat on the sporophorous vesicle (SPOV). However, HMY is distinguished from T. hominis during sporogony, as two types of SPOV and spores are formed in HMY. One type of SPOV contains thick-wallcd spores (usually 8 or more in number) with anisofilar polar filaments of 7 + 2 pattem, while the other type contains only two thin-walled spores with a smaller number (3-5) of isofilar polar filament coils. The HMY differs from T. apodemi which also forms SPOV with 8 spores inside, but the spores of which are larger in size and have 9 + 2 polar filament pattern.
