What blood looks like down the microscope

from School of Surgery Hosted by School of Surgery

Can you tell the difference between a monocyte and a basophil? Would you know what an eosinophil looked like if it came up to you and introduced itself? Where do platelets come from? If I have worms, what cells are responsible for killing them? All this and much more answered as Susan Anderson takes you on a tour of blood on a microscopic scale, teaching you how to identify red cells, granulocytes, lymphocytes, platelets, monocytes, basophils, eosinophils and neutrophil polymorphs and going through what each cell type is for. Don't miss this if you are a medical student or doctor taking early postgrad exams. Susan Anderson is Associate Professor of Surgery at the University of Nottingham, UK
