title: Dextran particles as a carrier for Giardia lamblia for scanning electron microscopy.
abstract: Giardia lamblia trophozoites attach readily to dextran particles after which they can be conveniently processed for scanning electron microscopy. As the particles are spherical in shape, G. lamblia can be viewed from various directions and their morphology studied.
