The following objects were found in a Papanicolaou-stained urine specimen. The intact object measures approximately 170 µm long by 50 µm wide. Identification? (I'd like to thank Drs. Gladwyn Leiman and Ann Berry for these beautiful images!)
Every week I will post a new Case, along with the answer to the previous case. Please feel free to write in with your answers, comments, and questions. Also check out my image archive website at http://parasitewonders.com. Enjoy!

Agreed. Wouldn't these be easier to identify in an unstained specimen?
