johnny11 Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Wiley I totally agree with blue bar they are not coccidia, they are cells with starch in them they are far too large to be coccidia. What magnification are you looking at them. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDCHEQHEN Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Its starch - and looks nothing like cocci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDCHEQHEN Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 The images that you have put on Lofty are not what you would see under the microscope to be honest The images that Wiley put on are definately starch granules Wiley google images should get you a few images of coccidia oocysts, threadworm eggs etc under the microscope. there is also a link on the finchaviary site at the very bottom of the page - to a yahoo avian microscopy group if you want to join up.

Bilco Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Best thing you can do is to get in touch with David Parsons (Vet) and book on to one of his Microscope teaching courses (£30). He is usually full, but give it a try. Not only does he teach, and teach well, but shows you what, where and how to look properly. And he gives you photos, plus spare spatulas, cotton buds, slides in addition. You'll be surprised at who could be sitting beside you on the bench. Cheers, Bill.

Yes Bilco he is very approachable and more than helpful. He can normally be found working on a stand upstairs in the Blackpool show.
