Newts, salamanders, frogs and toads are all amphibians. Such animals can be the specimen during dissection class of the students, which can be examined by means of microscopy using a microscope like the stereo dissecting microscope. These animals depend on external temperatures to keep their bodies sufficiently warm to continue living. The term amphibian means […]

Cutaneous chytridiomycosis is a rising fungal illness of amphibians responsible for a series of mass die-offs, population deteriorations and annihilations of amphibians on an international scale. The demised amphibians can be further examined by means of microscopy using a microscope such as stereo dissecting microscope. In wild, vulnerable species, chytridiomycosis may be capable to initiate […]

Pickerel Frogs have spots but with variable rectangular brown spots in rows, which can be better viewed with the help of microscopy using a microscope such as stereo dissecting microscope. The rectangular brown spots are the main means to tell them from Leopard Frogs, which have black oval spots of which can be differentiated clearly […]

Green Frogs have the appearance of something like minute Bullfrogs, but their color varies from yellow to green or bronze, at times with brown spots on the backside. Such skin colors are better viewed through microscopy under a microscope like the stereo dissecting microscope. Certain males specifically frogs in shaded woodland ponds, are black on […]

Frogs and toads are amphibians like with their tailed cousins the salamanders. Their skin is typically smooth and moist. Certain portion of the life cycle transpires in water. The frog face includes a wide mouth, two large uncovered eardrums, protruding eyes with transparent lids and some sort of inflatable vocal sac. The vocal sac, commonly […]
