Notes

Fresh-water, marine or parasitic protozoa can be immobilized for microscopic observation on protamine-coated slides. They appear not to be harmed by this procedure. The type of protamine derivative and its concentration are important, best results being obtained with 0.015-0.05% (w/v) of protamine sulfate.
