Visible to the naked eye
Macroscopic
1
Visible only with a microscope
Microscopic
2
Distance between the specimen and outer objective lens
Working distance
3
The ability of a lens system to show fine details of the object being observed
Resolution
4
Area visible when you look through microscope
Field
5
Enlarging the size of something
Magnification
6
Used to separate liquid from solid using a high speed spinning process
Centrifuge
7
Liquid portion of blood
Supernatant
8
Solid component of a sample such as blood cells
Sediment
9
2 types of centrifuges
Horizontal (swing arm) and angled
10
Turns off centrifuge at preset time
Timer
11
Sets the speed of centrifuge
Tachometer
12
If sample is spun too long or fast
It will rupture cells and morphology
13
If ran too slow or not long enough
Will not separate sample
14
Used to count cells
Cell counter
15
Measure the concentration of solids in a liquid
Refractometer
16
When using a refractometer with urine, it measures
Specific gravity (SG)
17
If using a refractometer, you measure
Total protein (TP)
18
SG and TP are directly proportional to it's
Conentration
19
Readings on the refractometer will always be
Greater than 0 (water is 0)
20
Specialized slide with etched grids is used to count white and red blood cells and platelets
Hemacytometer
21
Used to heat slides or samples
Bunsen burner
22
Keeps blood tubes at an even distribution
Blood rocker
23
Use liquid and dry reagents or slides that contain dry reagents
Blood chemistry machines
24
Reagent impregnated slides, pads, or cartilage
Dry system blood chemistry
25
Used lypholized reagent or already prepared liquid reagent
Liquid system blood chemistry
26
Use a bulk reagent and is most expensive
Unitized systems (vet test)
27
Used only if a single test is needed or emergency situations
Dedicated use analyzes
28
Available for use in the field
Handheld analyzer
