Examination of Cellophane Tape

If the specimen is difficult to examine, raise the tape from the front of the glass slide, add a drop of toluene to the slide, and replace the tape smoothly with an applicator stick. (Remember. Enterobius spp. and Taenia solium eggs are infective ) 

Examine the entire tape, including the edges, with x 100 magnification (x 10 objective). 

Confirm suspicious objects with high dry objectives (x40 to x50).
