Blood Basophil Morphology in Ferrets, Dogs, and Cats
Explore the morphological features of peripheral blood basophils in ferrets, dogs, and cats. Microscopy of blood smears stained with Romanowsky-Giemsa at 1000x magnification.
Articles
Blood and bone marrow morphology, clinical cases and diagnostic algorithms. Most of the library is in Russian; the English section is growing.
Most of our material is written in Russian — that is the working language of the community. A few pieces exist in English; the rest of the library is one click away and the photographs need no translation.
