title: [Study on the micro-identification of insect material medicine].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To seek microstructure characters and method of insect material medicines.
  
  
  METHODS
  Insect material medicines and Chinese patent medicines containing these medicines were observed and compared with OLYMPUS.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The texture of integumentary cells, the shape and size of hair socket and bristle were important characters for species identification.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This method can effectively identify 8 insect medicines, which provides some data and foundation for Chinese patent medicines' identification containing insects medicines and making quality standard for new drugs.
