- These are normal peripheral blood smears. The best area to study the
morphology of blood cells is towards the feather edge where the red cells
are barely touching each other. Using low power (10X objective) study the
type of white blood cells present. With experience, you can actually
perform a differential count with this power. This objective is also good
for picking up immature white cells (blasts). Use the 40X and 100 X (oil)
objectives to study the white blood cell, red blood cell, and platelet
morphology in detail.
