Summary
| Description |
English:
This prepared slide offers a good example of a thin (left) and thick (right) blood smear to be examined under the microscope.
Though they are more difficult to read, thick blood films are more sensitive in detecting malaria parasites because the blood is concentrated, allowing a greater volume of blood to be examined.
