Live Cell Microscopy
In this procedure, a tiny pinhead-sized droplet of blood is taken from the capillary bed via the fingertip. This droplet of blood is then placed under a specialized microsope (Dark Field Microscope). The resulting image is magnified 1000 times and is sent to a monitor through a video camera mounted atop the microscope.
The result is the “de-cloaking” of a wide variety of activities occuring at the cellular level and represented in the blood, which tend to go undetected by the observation of “Dead Blood” that has been altered by chemical intervention, in the form of staining, used to make otherwise translucent specimens visible under standard light microscopes.
