In 1996, scientists described a new tapeworm parasite that had killed at least one person. The initial examination of the patient’s abdominal mass was most likely made using
- 1. brightfield microscopy.
- 2. darkfield microscopy.
- 3. electron microscopy.
- 4. phase-contrast microscopy.
- 5. fluorescence microscopy.
