Microscopy Classes
by Dr. Karie
Live & Dry Blood Microscopy, what is it?
Microscopy is the scientific study and practical use of microscopes to observe structures too small to be seen with the naked eye. In clinical and educational settings, microscopy allows practitioners to examine cells, tissues, microorganisms, and blood components at high magnification. This tool provides valuable insight into cellular behavior, structural patterns, and biological activity within the body. Through proper technique and training, microscopy supports deeper understanding of human physiology and biological processes, serving as both a diagnostic support tool and an educational method. Microscopy bridges foundational science with hands-on observation, enhancing precision, awareness, and analytical skill in health and research practices.
CLASS A
Class A: Microscopy Setup & Operation (18 Hours | 3 Days)
Class A is an intensive, hands-on training designed for practitioners seeking foundational mastery of clinical microscopy. Over three immersive days, students learn how to properly set up, operate, and maintain a professional microscope, including daily calibration, breakdown, and care. Instruction includes correct blood sample collection and placement for both live and dry blood analysis, along with an introduction to basic observation and interpretation techniques. This class emphasizes practical skill-building through guided, real-time application.
Prerequisite: Completion of a standard Anatomy & Physiology course is required prior to enrollment.
Next class in 2026 is April 1st, 2nd, 3rd in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
CLASS B
Class B: Advanced Microscopy Interpretation & Application (18 Hours | 3 Days)
Class B is an advanced, in-depth course designed to deepen practical and analytical skills in clinical microscopy. Building upon foundational microscope operation, this class focuses on detailed observation, magnification interpretation, and understanding what is seen within both live and dry blood analysis. Students learn how to identify common visual patterns, anomalies, and structures observed under magnification, and how these findings are interpreted within an educational and holistic health framework.
Through guided hands-on practice, participants gain confidence in recognizing elements such as parasites, spirochetes, mold, fungal forms, and other biological activity commonly discussed in advanced microscopy settings. Instruction includes discussion of supportive, non-diagnostic wellness and herbal approaches traditionally suggested to address and clear unwanted biological terrain.
The course concludes with a comprehensive exam to assess comprehension, observational accuracy, and applied understanding of microscopy principles. Class B is ideal for practitioners seeking deeper proficiency, critical thinking skills, and expanded practical experience in microscopy analysis while maintaining ethical and educational boundaries.
Prerequisite: Successful completion of Class A and a standard Anatomy & Physiology course.
Next class in 2026 is May 6th, 7th and 8th in Idaho Falls, Idaho
CONTINUED SUPPORT
Continued Microscopy Support Group (Weekly | Ongoing Education)
The Continued Microscopy Support Group provides ongoing education and guided support for students who have completed microscopy training. Meeting weekly every Friday for 90 minutes, on zoom, this live class allows participants to submit and review images from both live and dry blood samples they encounter in practice. Under professional guidance, students receive assistance with observation, interpretation, and next-step educational direction. This collaborative learning environment strengthens confidence, accuracy, and continued skill development through real-world examples. Designed as ongoing professional development, the group supports long-term growth and practical application.
Membership: $49.95 per month.
