IF you want to observe WBCs in microscope you will have to stain the blood with either methylene orange or Iodine solution.

What kind of microscope would you use to observe organelles of a white blood cell?

You would use an electron microscope to view a Golgi apparatus.


If you observe a drop of blood under a microscope which cells would you be observing?

Blood cells. The largest compartment of blood cells are the red blood cells (also called erythrocytes), but you would also see white blood cells (including lymphocytes and phagocytes) and some platelets.


Are red and white and light purple a blood cell?

Mammals only have red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Platelets may appear purple under the microscope because of the stains used - but they are not referred to as 'purple blood cells'. Some white blood cells (eg. neutrophils and eosinophils) may also appear pink and/or light purple when stained with conventional stains (eg. H&E stain) - the nucleus is usually the most purple area of these cells. However, they are still white blood cells (despite looking pink/purple).


How does H and E stain normal blood cells look like under microscope?

With an H&E stain, red blood cells look like red doughnuts - round with a depression in the middle like a jelly doughnut with the filling slurped out. The white blood cells are light pink, roughly circular, with a dark purple-blue nucleus. Depending upon the type of white blood cell, there may also be bright red or blue-purple granular structures in the cytoplasm. The platelets are visible as light pink amorphous structures.


What do you need to see an amoeba?

Some amoebas such as the Pelomyxa palustris are large enough to be seen with the naked eye. Most amoebas would need to be seen under a microscope with at least 400x magnification. Filters are used as white light makes the amoebas curl into a ball and become unrecognisable.

What microscope would be used to look at a blood sample?

A light microscope would typically be used to look at a blood sample. This type of microscope has sufficient magnification and resolution to visualize blood cells such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.


What type of microscope should be used in a hematology lab?

A light microscope is typically used in a hematology lab for examining blood samples. This type of microscope allows for visualization of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in order to perform various blood tests and analysis.

You can split white light using a prism or a diffraction grating.


What type of disease is leucemia?

Leukemia is a cancer of the white cells in the blood. So many are made that under a microscope the slide appears to be mostly white cells. It is usually mostly red cells. The word means leuk- (white) + -emia (blood) or white blood.
