H/E |
|
This specimen serves as an example of an animal cell and is used to orientate you regarding the size, shape, colour and shading of a cell stained with haematoxilyn and eosin.
|
- View the available slides at various magnifications.
- Depending on the magnification, you will see more or less detail. This influences what can be visualized and how the slide appears.
- Identify and define the following:
- The red blood cell
- The shape of the cell and nucleus.
- The location of the nucleus in the cell i.e. central or eccentric.
- The ratio of the size of the nucleus to the size of the cell.
- The colour of the cytoplasm.
- The colour of the nucleus.
- Drawing:
- Make a detailed annotated drawing of a few red blood cells.
- Draw the shape and size of the cell and nucleus in the correct ratio to one another.
- Indicate the colour of the cell and nucleus.
