A good smear is characterized by a thin, even layer of the specimen spread across the slide, allowing for optimal visualization under a microscope. It should be free of clumps and artifacts, enabling clear identification of individual cells and structures. The edges should be feathered, tapering off to ensure that the sample doesn't dry out too quickly. Additionally, the smear should be properly fixed to preserve cellular morphology and avoid distortion during staining.
