    This document provides information about various cells, crystals, parasites, and artifacts that may be seen during microscopic examination of urine and stool samples. It describes crystals like calcium oxalate, uric acid, and triple phosphate that are commonly seen in urine sediment. It also details parasite eggs, larvae, cysts, and oocysts that may be observed in stool samples, such as Ascaris lumbricoides eggs, Giardia lamblia cysts, and Cryptosporidium oocysts. Additionally, it lists artifacts that could be mistaken for parasites or crystals, such as fungal spores, pollen grains, plant cells, and hairs.
