There are not a lot of doctors out there who can claim they are veterans in blood microscopy. Only a handful use the technique – specifically the dark field microscopic blood analysis. This is the common blood microscopy procedure that is currently being used.

In this process, a natural and fresh blood sample is observed with the use of a normal microscope. However, it involves the technology from the dark field microscope in order to determine whether the blood is going through abnormal conditions.

Over the years more and more health professionals are resorting to this technique in order to closely observe the cellular dynamics that the blood goes through. There are some situations wherein a condition escapes the diagnosis or the analysis in the medical tests.

Blood microscopy is often done with the use of a dark field microscope. This kind of microscope is made in order to allow the light rays and its illumination to enter from the side in order for the tiniest detail to appear clear amidst the dark backdrop. This is in contrast to some microscopes wherein the light just passes straight across the specimen.

If for example the bright lights pass through the specimen being observed, then the heat coming from the light source will only kill the red blood cells faster. Therefore, the light rays must be diverted so that a greater amount of the specimen can be seen.

Blood Microscopy lets health professionals evaluate and observe the shapes as well as the other properties in the individual blood cells. This also indicates the nutritional conditions that are adversely affecting the health of the person. The advantage of blood microscopy over the other blood tests is that it can easily detect whether there are chemical changes in the blood. It can also check the ability of the blood to take on the nutritional disorder that is affecting its performance.

Blood Microscopy also monitors the infancy stages of the problem in the blood. By closely monitoring the condition of the red blood cells as well as the white blood cells, the health professional can easily assist the patient in balancing the blood cells by prescribing lifestyle and dietary changes which can enhance the individual’s health.

In the process of blood microscopy, live blood is closely observed. This uses electron microscopy simply because this is attached to a computer or a monitor that can quickly receive the image that is presented to the eyepiece. The image that is seen by the health professional is then photographed and uploaded into the computer and the monitor for more observation.

The picture determines whether the blood is mobile or fixed. Close study will also reveal whether the blood is moving or static. What is seen in the eyepiece is the mobility of the red blood cells and the white blood cells along with the plasma. Along with blood, microbial activity and undigested food as well as fungi and crystals are also visible in the picture.

However, in blood microscopy, the red blood cells are the focus. Those who are suggested to go through blood microscopy examinations are those diagnosed with conditions affecting the red blood cells. An example is “rouleau”. This condition is defined as the stacking of red blood cells in the body. The effect of this is stress and poor metabolism. The cause of this problem is wrong dietary choices as well as the presence of high levels toxins in the blood. This is often correctable.

Another condition is that of the infection – be it viral or bacterial – of the red blood cells. In this case, the red blood cells are debilitated and misshapen because of the parasites.

In blood microscopy, a dark field microscope is the key device in the whole procedure. This is a kind of microscope that greatly shows an image despite it being lit at very low angles. This is where it got the name ‘darkfield.’

Health professionals who are already veterans of the blood microscopy process know how to shift the light and direct it as if it were coming straight through the specimen being observed. This results to two beams. The first one is out of phase compared to the second one. This may sound a little complicated in writing but when done is quite easy.

The whole point of blood microscopy is that it allows the blood to be observed under condenser lenses and not the usual microscopic film that is used in other experiments. These condenser lenses allow light to be reflected, therefore everything that is seen, no matter what color is bright, and then set against a dark background.
