Crop of an image through the eyepiece showing red and white blood cells at 400x magnification. The overall color is slightly rusty, but not red. Many of the red blood cells are burst, but some retain their doughnut shape. A few white blood cells are visible, larger than the red cells and with a visible nucleus.

This afternoon we set up the 11yo’s new microscope. While preparing her first slides, she dropped a pair of sharp tweezers on her bare foot and started to bleed. She immediately grabbed a slide, wiped a little blood on it, put it under the microscope, and snapped her first photo!
