      Hi Keira,

      I love looking at parasites and cysts down the microscope. That is my favourite bit, but no so for the patient as they could be seriously ill. They comr im a variety if shapes and sizes and I think quite beautiful to look at, especially if they are stained.
      Have a look at one at the following web page. It is one of my favourite. We don’t see it often but when we do, it is always a beauty.
