Please see the videos of the slide with the naked eye and under the microskope! Magnification makes the difference š
Here are some tips how you can assess if your aspirate is cellular and can be sent for further evaluation.
- When expelling the material on the slide from the syrringe ā it may come out in variably sized droplets. While expelling the material you should aim at the center of the slide ā so you have enough space to spread the droplets out. Droplets may be too thick to evaluate!
- If you have time it is always helpful to stain one slide in the clinic ā you can evaluate the cellularity and later compare your diagnosis with that of the pathologist
- If you are short of time ā you can spot the material on the slide by slowly changing the angle of view.. but this method can give you surprisesā¦
- VetCyto does not have limits on the number of slides per case ā we will evaluate all the submitted slides!
