Microscopy

In the day-to-day work at a veterinary clinic, a good microscope is indispensable for examining:

• Skin scrapings (scabies, fungi, yeasts)
• Urine: crystals (bladder stones!), cells, bacteria. See also: urinalysis.
• Blood smears
• Biopsies: tumor cells
• Stool: worms, protozoa
• Vaginal smears: part of breeding support
