The Tropical Worm Lab UCR on Instagram: "The microcapillary test allows direct visualization of microfilariae of Dirofilaria immitis (canine heartworm) circulating in the blood. By centrifuging whole blood 🩸 in a capillary tube, motile microfilariae🪱 can be observed at the plasma–buffy coat interface under the microscope—simple, fast, and very effective for parasitological screening. A classic technique that reminds us: sometimes seeing is believing. 👀🔬 Microhematocrit video credits to @vmon
