Echinococcus daughter scolices and hooklets. Yes, gorgeous slide.
Hooklets and scolices of Echinococcus.
Florida Fan
Hydatid sand.
Spectacular case.
Many pathologists will miss this on real cases unless we see the scolices which stain!! We generally like flatter lower contrast microscopy and, forgiving poor nomenclatures, have our condensers relatively wide open.
ZN stain will show that many of the hookelts are acid-fast. :)
Holy smokes.
To anonymous - I also leave my condenser wide open for my surgical pathology and cytopathology cases, but I've learned that when looking for hooklets, to always flip your condenser down. It really makes the hooklets 'pop'!
