The Microscopic Diagnosis of Malaria
Plasmodium falciparum Trophozoites, Thin Film
thin film
Plasmodium
falciparum
trophozoites
In this thin film, it is
difficult to see any
parasites. Typically, we
examine the feathered
edge of the film to get a
better view of the
parasites, but sometimes
a thicker portion must be
examined.
