This micrograph depicts an egg from the trematode parasite Paragonimus westermani. Eggs range in size from 68-118 µm x 39-67 µm. They are yellow-brown and ovoidal or elongated, with a thick shell. They are often asymmetrical, with one end slightly flattened. At the large end, the operculum (ie, lid or covering) is visible. Photo courtesy of The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
