Elite Grade Prepared Microscope Slides: Paragonimus westermani Metacercaria, 100% Clarity of the Infective Stage

This Paragonimus westermani (Oriental Lung Fluke) metacercaria whole mount (W.M.) features the #1 critical infective stage of the parasite. This 5-star microscope slide is a premier choice for medical parasitology and food safety education, providing 100% clear visualization of the encysted larva as it would appear in a secondary intermediate host.

Elite Product Specifications:

Dimensions: Standard 25.4mm x 76.2mm (1″ x 3″) high-transparency glass slide.
Preparation: Expertly fixed and mounted whole mount (W.M.) of the encysted metacercaria.

4 Essential Anatomical Highlights:

Cyst Wall: Observe the 100% distinct, thick-walled protective capsule that allows the parasite to remain viable within the tissues of crustaceans.
Coiled Larva: Identify the 100% visible juvenile fluke folded within the cyst, featuring a developing oral sucker and primitive gut.
Excretory Bladder: View the large, centrally located, dark-staining excretory bladder, a #1 diagnostic feature of this stage.
Size Consistency: These spherical to slightly oval cysts measure approximately 300–450 micrometers in diameter, making them 100% easy to identify under medium-power magnification.

Biological & Medical Significance:

Infection Pathway: The metacercaria is the 100% essential stage for human transmission, typically ingested via undercooked crab or crayfish.
Pathogen Model: Paragonimus westermani is the primary cause of paragonimiasis, a major lung disease in Asia that can mimic the symptoms of tuberculosis.
Food Safety Training: An essential #1 reference for training lab technicians and public health officials to screen for parasites in seafood products.
