some people get new blood for christmas.
boxes of blood products on the loading dock yesterday.

To get this shot, I placed a lava lamp against a black background, then turned all the lights off. So I could get such an atmospheric photo, I used a relatively short exposure (0.005 sec). Explored, highest position #290

Nerves and cells!

My blood

Just for fun I setup our highest-spec microscope and had a look at a sample of my own blood. The scope was a Zeiss Axiovert 200 inverted microscope with a 100x oil-immersion objective (NA=1.2) and oil immersion condenser (NA=1.4, stopped down to 0.8). An additional "tube-mag" of 1.5x was applied and the eyepieces yielded an extra 10x. The total optical magnification between sample and eyes, then, was 1500x. Notice the 10 micron scale line in the top-left corner of the image.

I love this microscope. It can yield great images, if you spend a little time setting it up. In fact its performance is on the edge of what is theoretically possible with conventional light microscopy.

and thats how the plasmodium vivax was developping in my red blood cell - multiplicating and destroying it

Plateletpheresis...

Here's a shot from one of my visits to the Blood Bank in Singapore. I was donating platelets.

The extraction of platelets from a donor's blood is known as plateletpheresis, while plasmapheresis refers to the extraction of a donor's plasma.

One can make an apheresis donation every month, up to 12 times a year.

With regular apheresis donations, you can help ensure a stable supply of blood products for patients when they need it.

Additionally, apheresis allows a much larger number of platelets to be collected from a single donor than is possible through whole blood donations. Platelets collected through apheresis are also more effective in stopping bleeding and minimize a patient's exposure to multiple donors' blood.

During apheresis, machines called blood cell separators are used to draw blood from you. After the plasma, platelets or red cells in the blood have been extracted, the remaining blood will be returned to you. You might feel a slight tingling sensation or get a little cold during the procedure.

Platelet donation takes about 60 to 90 minutes.

I had my camera with my 100mm macro lens with my at work and just shot a few photo's for fun.

Neutrophils deal with defense against bacterial or fungal infection and other very small inflammatory processes and are usually first responders to microbial infection; their activity and death in large numbers forms pus.

Monocytes share the "vacuum cleaner" (phagocytosis) function of neutrophils, but are much longer lived as they have an additional role: they present pieces of pathogens to T cells so that the pathogens may be recognized again and killed, or so that an antibody response may be mounted.

Eosinophils primarily deal with parasitic infections and an increase in them may indicate such. Eosinophils are also the predominant inflammatory cells in allergic reactions. The most important causes of eosinophilia include allergies such as asthma, hay fever, and hives; and also parasitic infections. Generally their nucleus is bi-lobed. The cytoplasm is full of granules which assume a characteristic pink-orange color with eosin stain.

Platelets, or thrombocytes, are the cells circulating in the blood that are involved in the cellular mechanisms of primary hemostasis leading to the formation of blood clots. Dysfunction or low levels of platelets predisposes to bleeding, while high levels, although usually asymptomatic, may increase the risk of thrombosis.

I love doing stuff like this. I wish I had more time...
My first day of Year 3 went well. Luckily I only have lectures this week. Next week I get my first patients :-O
365 Days

2. The color Red. As suggested in the official Assignments Sugggestion Thread by FadderUri, we've seen blue and green, but never red! Red is a very powerful color, a little bit may go a looong way. Passionate and hot, this color can speak volumes.
