Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 Wayne That really is amazing. I know nothing on blood analysis, LOL, but it was fascinating to look at. Could you tell a blood amatuer like me why one picture showed fewer cells, not really joined, while the 3rd under your name showed a much more defined, joined, and creative pattern? Were these from different people, and does the clumps/patterns/what not's show any superior health over the other? Erin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 Evening Everyone, Finally I have been able to get a few images of some blood samples. I have not mastered the methods very well yet. It has been interesting and better pictures will be available later. Thus far, I have images from only 3 people. My guinea pigs are scarce. If anyone would care to look at these and make any comments, I would appreciate it. I got carried away with some other links at the bottom of this page. ( this James South guy and Smart-Drugs ) Also..... I do have a few professional images of other blood cells on this page. www.fugitt.com/blood.htm If anyone could recommend a list, site, or a book dedicated to blood cell abnormality study, I would be interested. The algae image is the best one I have. It was done on 400X and the other on 1000. Somehow the focus is not as good on 1000X. Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your are observant for sure. I expected that question. Remember the word, " amateur " .... beginner, novice.....ect. First we have not fully mastered the slide preparation. The difference is due to the time interval from the blood being drawn and the slide preparation, or the thinning of the sample with saline. > Were these from different people, and does the clumps/patterns/what > not's show any superior >health over the other? All of the images under the same name are from the same person. I showed 3 images to illustrate the differences that can result. We had at least one from each person that looked good, while others looked bad. Most of this difference is in the way the slides were done and the way the blood was handled, diluted with saline, ect. It appears that the time intervals are critical also. Hopefully our results will become more uniform over time. The main thing I am interested in is observing deformed and damaged blood cells. I think, with enough study, one can easily spot some few specific diseases. That is why I am collecting the professional slides that identify specific problems with blood cell production within the body. Possibly, I am daydreaming and we cannot master this. I am working with person that has had a few courses in this endeavor. Also, I have relatives and friends who teach chemistry and work at blood labs. In time, I hope some of their secrets leak out and I can utilize some of them. Actually they are not secrets, but everyday routine practices.
