Abstract
Most protozoa are best examined when they are alive, suspended in saline on a slide; the addition of a drop of Neutral Red (0.01 %) or Janus B. Green (0.01 %) sometimes helps to show up the internal structure. Temporary preparations can be made to last longer by sealing the coverslip to the slides with melted Vaseline applied with a needle.
