Under a high magnification of 400X, this photomicrograph revealed the presence of a cestode, Diphyllobothrium latum, or “broad” tapeworm, egg, which is described as oval or ellipsoidal, and range in size from 55µm to 75µm by 40µm to 50µm. There is an operculum at one end that can be inconspicuous, and at the opposite (abopercular) end is a small knob that can be barely discernible. The eggs are passed in the stool unembryonated.
