Artifacts and Pseudoparasites

[Dave Weldon]

Howdy All,

When is a "parasite" not a parasite ? When it is an artifact or a Pseudoparasite . So there you are looking at something scary under the microscope wondering what it is .

It may not be a parasite at all but:
Plant Cells
Air bubbles, Spores, or Pollen Grains
Fungal Spores
Plant Spines
Ciliates
Pollen
Spores
Oil droplets
Air bubbles...

Howdy,

I'm an Applications Engineer for a "Test and Measurement" company. I help the sales engineers sell it and help the customers use it. If you ever need a 70GHz oscilloscope for $100,000 just let me know . I've been with the company for over 27 years, having too much fun to do anything else
