  • What are the little tiny dots floating around by the hundreds?

  • In this clip they are mainly chylomicrons (fat droplets). Experienced examiners can also see symprotits and macrosymprotits.

  • How well can you see platelets using Darkfield Microscopy?

  • Very well with 1000x magnification, particularly platelet aggregation, which makes it a great tool to identify early stages of cardio-vascular diseases.

  • @aftonlight Those are erythrocytes, the red cells in our blood that carry the oxygen and hydrogen. And the big cells are lymphocytes or white cells.

  • I have a tough time believing they are chylomicrons. They appear to swim in a random & circular motion. They swim around a 5-6 body diameter randomly and appear to be caused by a flagella.

  • 0:51 smiling neutrophile =)

  • I found some times the RBC surrounded by those "active" white dots. Do you believe that they are not living organisms?

  • Earthworm Jim 2!

  • better off without music...
