A stereo microscope (or dissection microscope) is the tool of choice when you want to view larger critters that have some three-dimensionality, unlike *seemingly* flat microbes on a slide If you have a medical school in your area, look there first!!!
- Parasite Diagnosis Using Microscope | Reef2Reef
Is there a guide on how to properly identify aquatic parasites using a microscope? I'm worried that it could possibly be an internal parasite that got pooped out by my stingray, as they're very susceptible to internal parasites Thanks!! (and yes, I think that it takes a devoted hobbyist to randomly look at fish poop under a microscope :D)

- Ich, Velvet, Brook, Uronema - Microscopic ID | Reef2Reef
I knew the crabs could carry diseases from fish My question was about trying to take a sample (swabbing the shell) and checking under the microscope as an alternative to quarantine And if so, what would be the correct procedure for this I believe this could be an interesting possibility Quarantining is a "blind" approach
- Dinoflagellate Identification Guide | Reef2Reef
Can you provide any additional information or observations about the Symbiodinium-like (Chrysophyte?) cells described in your ID guide? I definitely have a few patches that have developed in my sand bed Under the microscope the cells are TINY (approx 10 um) and motionless as you describe They are embedded in a thick mucus
- Uronema Red Band Disease - Hemdal | Reef2Reef
Examining material from the lesion of an infected fish under a microscope will show massive tissue necrosis and huge numbers of motile ciliate protozoans, most likely Uronema sp It turns out that Uronema is capable of developing intercellularly, that is, deep within the muscle and organ tissue of the fish
