is the purpose of the permanent stained smear?
The
purpose of the permanent stained smear is to provide contrasting
colors for both the background debris and parasites present;
it is designed to allow examination and recognition of detailed

objective for a total magnification of X1000). This examination
is primarily designed to allow recovery and identification
of the intestinal protozoa. |
