Please see the videos of the slide with the naked eye and under the microskope! Magnification makes the difference ????
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 – it may come out in variably sized droplets. While expelling the material you should aim at the center of the slide – 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 – you can evaluate the cellularity and later compare your diagnosis with that of the pathologist
- If you are short of time – you can spot the material on the slide by slowly changing the angle of view.. but this method can give you surprises…
- VetCyto does not have limits on the number of slides per case – we will evaluate all the submitted slides!
