Leukocytes glitters Phase contrast 40x (unstained, hpf)
(unstained, hpf) Dr André Audet
Leukocytes glitters (toluidine blue, hpf)
Notice the size and the hydropic cytoplasm
Leukocytes "glitters" (naphtyl-chloroacétate estérase, 40x)
Leukocytes (glitters) and renal tubular cells (hpf, unstained and stained with naphtyl-ASD chloroacétate estérase)
Notice the identification difficulties on the unstained slide
