Also, I have the McMaster slides now. It says in the instructions to focus on the gridline. So, do you keep the focus the same, or do you focus theough the different layers? I kept it the same, as it said the eggs would be at the top. But I wondered if I missed eggs that were not in focus. Thanks
It’s looks like barber pole to me also. I new at this myself. I am amazed that you can do a picture of it. How did you do this? Do you have a special microscope? Just curious. Thanks.
The microscope I bought came with a camera. Like this https://omaxmicroscope.com/microsco...tible-with-windows-xp-through-windows-10.html
You focus through the different layers. Mine have different colored filters so some eggs show up in the green spectrum and some show in the purple spectrum and so on. Just make sure that your air bubbles are always in focus and you will see the eggs.
Hey lady With the Mcmaster slide..find your grid..start in either the top or bottom..but you should see 3 blue/teal lines a little like a line but more dot edged..then find your air bubble to.fine tune. Then you.should be on the layer most of your worms ahould be. And the Cocci should bd easy to see slso.
Thanks ladies!! I do go by the blue line and air bubbles when I focus. The McMaster slides and method sure saves time!
Looks like it !Whats the magnification? Looks large but I think you have the magnification up really high.
I think it is but I'm not 100% sure. I'm not used to seeing them with such a bold nucleus. It could just be your mag though... I'm not sure what else it could be.

I never worry until there is something symptomatic going on with the goat, and the count is high... and by high I mean >1000 FEC
Hey guys! I've been doing lots of herbal deworming and I noticed a bunch of this in the fecals... what do you think it is? I don't think it's a plant of any kind because they are all pretty similar. I'm **hoping** its some sort of dead worm segments. 10x and 40x images attached. Love to hear your thoughts!
No , not at all... Although this is interesting to me because I haven't seen debris quite like this and I've been doing fecals for a year now.
My "fake worms" looked a little different (at 10x): I will keep at lookout for the kind in your pictures next time I do a fecal.
Hi..looking at the pics of your fecal samples. I'm seeing air bubbles and food debris. As a suggestion..check to make sure your fecal solution is strong enough to float the wormload..and that the sample is fresh. Also..as happybleats suggested to another. It's always a good idea to send a sample to a lab to verify your findings.
