Staining is one way to do research to identify eggworms. The dyeing technique explains the material and description of the worm egg under the microscope and helps to distinguish it from the surrounding feces. A widely used method for staining histological tissue with hematoxylin and eosin. A commonly used stain for the above colon nematode examination is eosin stain. Rhodamine B dye is used instead of eosin dye to add a reference dye. The method used is experimental and uses eosin-controlled rhodamine B concentration ratios of 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% to 3%. The worm egg morphology is clearly visible from the outer layer to the inner layer, the field of view of the rhodamine B dye is clearly visible, and the color contrast of the egg is also clearly visible. From the research conducted, it can be concluded that Rhodamine B can be used as an alternative to the dye eosin. After the seminar, participants in the dedication activity realized that dye Rhodamine B was used instead of dye eosin.Keywords: intestinal nematode egg, hematoxylin-eosin, rhodamine B
