Microscopes• Blood Vessel Slide:• Look for artery, vein on red ring• Look for arteriole, venuole on yellow ring• Look for capillary on blue ring

– When done, go to red ring before removing slide– Skip white ring (that’s for microbiology)

• Blood slide (use blue ring):– Neutrophils– Lymphocytes– Monocytes: hard to find– Eosinophils and basophils? Hard to find
