What is a "blood smear"?
A blood smear is a glass slide that has been prepared by spreading a thin layer of a blood sample on its surface and staining it with special dyes. This slide allows for the examination of blood cells under a microscope. The staining process makes different types of blood cells and their characteristics visible, which helps identify abnormalities and diagnose conditions such as infections, anemia, and other blood disorders. The blood smear provides a detailed view of the size, shape, and number of blood cells, helping in the overall evaluation of blood health.
