Describe the best area to perform the manual differential on the blood smear.
Answer - Area of Monolayer
Explanation - Examination of a blood smear is an important technique in haematology. Blood smears are used to analysis leukocytes, platelet count RBC and abnormal cell morphology.
There are several areas of blood smears:
1. The feathered edge
2. the monolayer
3. the body and base of the smear.
A, The feathered edge
The feathered edge is the end of the blood smear. It is essential that the feathered edge is completely present and fully stained. It is a first part of the smear that detect platelet clumps and microfilaria
2. Monolayer
Morphology of Blood cells is done in this area. This area is just behind the featured edge. It is generally the distance of one 10x field behind the feathered edge and is considered as a best or optimal area for the examination of cells. It dries quickly and cells are well spread and not disrupted in this area. RBC are separated are non-overlapping and well spread in this area.
3. Body and base of the smear
It is behind the monolayer and a thick area.
Conclusion - All parts of the smear are essential to examine but the monolayer is the best area to perform manual differentiation of blood smear.

Discuss a blood disorder in which a blood smear may be used to diagnose. Give a brief description of the blood disorder, what specific blood component the disorder affects, what the disorder may look like on a blood smear, how it affects a patient, and how it may be treated
In the examination of a blood smear, 95 leukocytes were observed in five fields of view. What is the leukocyte estimate? Assume an EDTA blood specimen was used to prepare the smear. (2 pt)
write a paragraph to describe the white blood cell and red blood cell morphology from monocytosis slide (blood smear slide)?
please calculate the estimate! show your work please
In the examination of a blood smear, 95 leukocytes were observed in five fields of view. What is the leukocyte estimate? Assume an EDTA blood specimen was used to prepare the smear. (2 pt)
Questions: 1. What are some sources of error to the manual differential (other than misidentifying a cell)? 2. Describe how a platelet estimate is done:
Describe the cell morphology, colors, and percentage of the total white blood cell count for each type of white blood cell that would be distinguished by a hematologist analyzing a stained blood smear.
evaluate and critique this blood smear. point out what went
wrong? and what can be improved next time?
