Human Blood W.B.C Slide

A stained human blood smear with the white blood cells brought forward, letting students identify the different leucocyte types beside the red cells.

How it works

1. Place the slide on the microscope stage
2. Scan at low power for the stained cells
3. Use high power to tell the W.B.C. types apart

What students learn

• Distinguish red and white blood cells
• Identify the main types of white blood cells
• Relate W.B.C.s to immunity

Try these experiments

1. Draw and label each W.B.C. type you find
2. Count W.B.C.s against R.B.C.s in one field
3. Discuss the role of W.B.C.s in fighting infection
