The stool is the solid waste product of digestion which may vary in color, texture, amount, and odor depending on your diet and general health.

What does Stool Examination R/M measure?

The stool examination R/M (routine microscopy) is done by taking concentrated sediment of fresh or formalin preserved stool followed by drying the slide to make the specimen dry. It is then fixed with the reagents and stained with different stains. After the staining procedure is completed, the slide is examined under the microscope at different fields to identify protozoan trophozoites and cysts and for confirmation of any other species. Depending upon what species is present, the reporting of the stool slide is made.
