Blood smear
Blood smear: A drop of blood is placed directly on a glass slide and spread over its surface with the edge of another slide. Stained with Wright’s stain.
Blood smear:Wright X400 Erythrocytes: 7-8um Biconcave disc Stain uniformly with eosin Neutrophil: proportion - 50-70%; Most numerous Multilobed nucleus Pale pink granules The method of producing a blood smear: a drop of blood is placed directly on a glass slide and spread over its surface with the edge of another slide. A smear from peripheral blood.The cells are mainly erythrocytes. Blood smear:Wright X400
Eosinophils. Blood smear:Wright X400 8-10 microns morphology 2-4% 8-10 microns morphology bilobed nucleus large, uniform eosinophil granules. Blood smear:Wright X400
Blood smear:Basophil Giemsa stain X400 Basophils. a.Proportion 0.5% b.morphology - large, irregular basophil granules obscure the nucleus The basophil granules are very large and irregularly shaped. Granules obscure the nucleus. Blood smear:Basophil Giemsa stain X400
