The paper proposes the rapid technique for examining the luminescence pattern of individual systems and organs in the murine parasite Aspiculuris tetraptera. The luminescence pattern of the parasite was studied after fluorochrome-plating with rhodamine 6G, rhodamine C, coryphosphine, sodium fluorescein, acridine orange which was found to be the optimum fluorochrome. This technique is to be used in the evaluation of the effects of chemopharmaceuticals on the parasite.
