Document Summary

8- thorough study of the morphology of blood cells. Three basic steps to make blood film:: preparation of blood smear, fixation of blood smear, staining of blood smear. Tips for making a good blood smear: clean slides: it is imperative to use clean high-quality glass slides with clean edges. Touching the edges of the spreader slide will affect the quality of the smear: the size of the drop: if the drop is too large, the smear will be too long and thick. A small drop may not be fully representative of the blood: speed of spreading action: the speed at which the spreader slide is moved is very important. If you move it too fast, the smear is too short and all the cells are at the feathered edge. If you go too slow, the smear is too long (lacks a feathered edge): angle of the spreader slide: the angle determines the length of the smear.
