J Rudi Strickler

Hi Ieva: I would get the cheapest you can get and only a small quantity. Then try out and observe in the microscope if the spheres are separated and eaten. Find out if with fluorescence you can see them in the guts and can count them in the guts. OK? Good luck, Rudi

Carina Seitz

Hi all,

Thanks for the information provided. Do you know where I can buy the microsphere that you suggest? I really appreciated any help you can provide.

Best,

Carina
