DIY FECPAK

[polk_farmer]

Could anybody please put up a link to an old thread of a list of stuff needed for a DIY FECPAK, as I cannot find it anywhere.

Or alternatively put up a list.

Iv got McMaster slides on order from Canada so far, but can't remember the spec of microscope, etc.

Thanks

You need a binocular microscope with a mechanical stage. 10X eyepiece with 10X objective lens. Integral light source.

There are so many both new and second hand. I'd hate to recommend a particular one when so many will do.

You need a accurate scale. Teat strainer. Couple of tea spoons. Some plastic containers.

I think they sell the plastic (acrylic?) McMaster slides in the UK now.

But I think this may be the link you were looking for:
