What are you looking at? It's hard to tell unless you give us a little
more information. Is this human in origin or from an environmental or
animal source? If human, what kind of fluid or source? Urine, feces,
other body fluid??? If a patient how old, what sex? I would assume 7
rbc's equals 28-35 microns or so. Is it round? Elongated? Tapered?
QNS information.....
