Study Notes
Blood Sampling Methods
- Two main methods of obtaining blood samples: Vein punctures and Capillary punctures
- Vein punctures method is carried out when a large volume of blood is required
Capillary Punctures Method
- Blood can be taken from the fingertips or earlobes in the Capillary punctures method
Blood Preparation and Separation
- Components of blood preparation and separation of plasma: blood collection, centrifugation, and plasma separation
- The result of the blood separation process is described as a clear or transparent liquid (plasma) and a solid component (blood cells)
Microscope
- Main function of a microscope: to magnify small objects or structures
- A microscope typically has 3-4 objective lenses
- Magnification power of the eyepiece (ocular lens): 10x
- Function of the condenser in the illumination system of a microscope: to focus light onto the specimen
- Purpose of the oil immersion objective lens: to increase the resolution and magnification power of the microscope
