Entamoeba Slide

A stained preparation of Entamoeba, the parasitic amoeba responsible for amoebic dysentery — a standard slide for lessons on human parasites.

How it works

1. Place the slide on the microscope stage
2. Focus at low power, then high power
3. Identify the parasite's structure

What students learn
