(RBC counting)
what solution do we use and how much should we take from it?
Hayem’s solution
990 microL
(RBC counting)
is the solution hyper/hypotonic?
what does it contain?
what will happen to the RBC?
hypertonic
NaCl, Na2So4, HgCl2
they will shrink
(RBC counting)

(RBC counting)
after mixing blood and solution, how much of it should we take?
20 microL
(RBC counting)
which square should we count from and how many squares?
small square
40
(RBC counting)
counted number of RBC in the 40 squares equals to cell number in-
1/100 microL of the diluted suspension
(RBC counting)
how will we know the number of cells in microL of blood?
x100
bcs of the dilution
x100
bcs of the the total number of the squares
(RBC counting)
normal value of RBC in microL?
4.4-5.5 milion cells / 1microL

What happens to the RBC and why? (when putting inside the solution)
what will happen to the WBC?
RBC will Lysis
solution will stain the nuclei of WBC
(WBC counting)
How much blood do we need?
How much will we take from the blood+solution?
Add 10 microL blood
Take 20 microL
(WBC counting)
What squares do we use?
How many squares should we count?
Large
25
(WBC counting)
Counted number of WBC in the 25 squares equals?
Cell number in 1/10 microL of the diluted suspension
(WBC counting)
What is the normal value?
6000-8000 cells / 1 microL
(Leukocyte differential count on peripheral blood smear)
all steps in the preparation of the blood?(after we put the blood on the slide)
3 min in undiluted May-Grünwald solutiun
1 min in diluted May-Grünwald solutiun
15-20 min in Giemsa solution
wash with water

Giemsa solution, what does it made of?
what is it for?
phosphate buffer (pH=6.8) eosinophilic staining
(Leukocyte differential count on peripheral blood smear)
must do before using the slide on the microscope?
what do we use in the microscope to whatch it?
put a drop of immersion oil
the black magnification (special for immersion oil)
(Leukocyte differential count on peripheral blood smear)
how much should you count?
what are the normal values?
count 100 Neutrophils 60-70% Lymphocyes 25-30% Monocytes 4-8% Eosinophils 2-4% Basophils 0-1% **mnemonics!!! Never Let Monkeys Eat Bananas!!!**
(Leukocyte differential count on peripheral blood smear)
how can you identify a neutrophil granulocyte?
1.5-2 times larger than RBC
usually more than 2 nuclei
light eosinophilic (pink) cytoplasm
containing granules (but they are unstained)
(Leukocyte differential count on peripheral blood smear)
how can you identify a lymphocyte?
same size as RBC or bigger big basophilic (purple) nucleus
(Leukocyte differential count on peripheral blood smear)
how can you identify a monocyte?
2-3 times bigger than RBC larges WBC "horeseshoe"/kidney shape eccentric nucleus basophilic (grey-purple) cytoplasm
(ABO type by “one-sided”)
what type of solution should you firstly put on the plate, and where?
seline
under each one- A, B, AB, control
