Red Cell Morphology
Martha MacPherson, R.T. and Marjorie A. Spahn, MT (ASCP)
Review all major aspects of red cell morphology using this richly illustrated interactive course. Normal red blood cells, including microcytes, macrocytes, and anisocytes, are treated, along with polychromasia and poikilocytosis. Ideal for review, cross training, CE, and clinical laboratory science students.
