The Giardia organisms are seen in the bowel lumen (bottom of image) and are:
- Pale staining/translucent.
- Size: 12-15 micrometers (long axis) x 6-10 micrometers (short axis) -- if seen completely.
- Most of the Giardia organisms seen are semicircular or crescent shaped -- as the long axis of the organism is rarely in the plane of the (histologic) section.
The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/villi" class="extiw" title="w:villi">villi</a> have interepithelial <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/lymphocytes" class="extiw" title="w:lymphocytes">lymphocytes</a>.
