They are extremely small (just a few microns) and are virtually transparent, and almost impossible for the untrained eye to see even under high power microscopy. We always used an acid-fast carbol fuchsin stain that makes the oocysts a bright pink-red and then they show up very well. After a lot of time on the scope, I got to the point that I could positively identify them unstained, but that was at 1,000 power and even then it was not easy. Staining is really a must to be certain. So the big question would be did they specifically test for crypto. [ Reply To This Message ] [ Subscribe to this Thread ] [ Hide Replies ]
