Normal saline is isotonic and helps maintain the integrity of the red blood cells in the smear.
What causes smudge cells?
Smudge cells are caused by the mechanical disruption of fragile cells, such as lymphocytes, during the slide preparation process for blood smear examination.

Smudge cells are often seen in samples with high white blood cell counts and do not represent pathological changes in the cells themselves.
