Apart from clinical assessment, the methods of identifying Trichomonas vaginalis in women are...(1) Examination of fresh preparations from the vagina or urethra by direct microscopy;(2) Culture in artificial media;(3) Microscopic examination of stained preparations. Direct microscopy. In this method a fresh specimen of the vaginal secretion is transferred... from the vaginal vault to a glass microscope slide and examined under a cover slip using either oil immersion high power, dark-field, or phase contrast microscopy. 3, record 1, English, - direct%20microscopy

Because of the low sensitivity of direct microscopy, culture may be used, where available, to isolate the parasite from urethral swabs, urine sediments, prostate fluid and vaginal specimens. 4, record 1, English, - direct%20microscopy

Examen direct au microscope -- C'est un examen facile à réaliser et qui est très informatif [...] Le prélèvement est étalé sur une lame avec une goutte de sérum physiologique. On peut ainsi visualiser un Trichomonas, des fragments mycéliens ou des leucocytes. 2, record 1, French, - examen%20microscopique%20direct

Trichomonas vaginalis [...] À cause de la faible sensibilité de la microscopie directe, on peut effectuer une culture, lorsque disponible, afin d'isoler le parasite à l'aide d'écouvillonnages urétraux, de sédiments urinaires, de liquide prostatique et d'échantillons vaginaux. 3, record 1, French, - examen%20microscopique%20direct

Microscope objectives use the principle of aplanatic refraction and to reduce the refraction at the front lens of the objective for higher powers, cedar wood oil(refractive index 1. 517) is placed between the cover glass(index 5. 1, say) and the plane surface of the front lens of higher index... Besides aiding aplanatism the numerical aperture is increased by this process, which therefore increases resolving power. 2, record 2, English, - immersion%20objective

[El] oscurecimiento de la imagen puede evitarse, en parte, empleando para los aumentos muy grandes objetivos de inmersión, con los cuales se suprime la capa de aire entre la lente frontal y el objeto o el cubreobjeto interponiendo entre ambos una gotita de líquido (aceite de cedro, por ejemplo) de elevado índice de refracción. Así se evita la pérdida de los rayos de luz desviados por el aire fuera del objetivo. 1, record 2, Spanish, - objetivo%20de%20inmersi%C3%B3n

An instrument for rapidly obtaining samples of airborne dust; a type of dust counter. Particles pass through a cylindrical chamber, are drawn at high velocity through a narrow slit, and then impinge upon a microscope cover glass located a short distance from the slit. An analysis for quantity and size of the particles on the cover glass is made with the aid of a microscope. 1, record 3, English, - Owens%20dust%20counter
