Examining urine sediment immediately after decantation allows for better visualization of cellular elements like red and white blood cells, bacteria, and crystals, as they may settle quickly. Delaying examination can lead to sediment drying out or cells deteriorating, potentially affecting the accuracy of the analysis.
Sediment can form on land due to erosion processes, such as wind, water, or ice moving soil particles from one location to another. Additionally, deposition of materials by rivers, glaciers, or volcanic activity can contribute to sediment accumulation on land. Human activities, such as agriculture, construction, and deforestation, can also accelerate sediment formation on land.
Urine must be centrifuged before microscopic examination to separate any cells, bacteria, and other solid components from the liquid portion, or supernatant. This allows for a clearer view of the cells and other elements present in the urine sample under a microscope, making it easier to detect abnormalities or infections.
it is urine. :)

Urine is secreted from the kidneys into the ureters, which are tubes that transport the urine to the bladder. From the bladder, urine is expelled from the body through the urethra.
We centrifuge a urine sample to separate the liquid portion (urine) from any solid components (sediment). This helps to examine the urine sediment under a microscope to check for cells, crystals, bacteria, and other particles that may indicate a health condition.
Amorphous sediment in urine are things like crystal phosphates, uric acid stones or calcium stones that are found in the urine. Certain amorphous sediment found in urine is normal. The cause of amorphous sediment depends on the type of sediment. For instance, uric acid stones can be caused from not drinking enough liquids.
Sediment in the urine is caused by skin cells and debris from the urinary system.

Increased crystal formation, such as calcium oxalate crystals, may be due to reduced water intake. These crystals can concentrate in the urine when there is insufficient fluid intake, leading to their precipitation and formation within the urine sediment.
When salts solidify, they can form crystals that can be seen in the sediment of urine under the microscope. These crystal formations give insights into the composition of the urine and can help in diagnosing certain medical conditions related to kidney function or metabolism.
Abnormal crystals and amorphous sediment are findings in a urine test, not a blood test. Suggests stones.

The tube is not so important . It's the centrifuge that does the work.
