A smear is good for seeing any motile parasites in the feces, eggs may also be discovered though not as great as float because of the background material. Giardia is often missed in float because of weight of cysts, but may also be missed in smear as the cysts and trophozoite are not always shed.

Why do you have to use NSS instead of water in preparing fecal smear?

NSS (normal saline solution) is used instead of water in preparing a fecal smear to prevent lysis (rupturing) of red blood cells in the sample. Using water can cause hemolysis, which may interfere with the accurate interpretation of the fecal sample. Normal saline is isotonic and helps maintain the integrity of the red blood cells in the smear.
