Lesson 4 ─Plasmodium ovale Trophozoites, Thin Film
As stated earlier, a microscopist must be familiar with the appearance of each
of the four Plasmodium species in stained blood film.
This is an interactive lesson. First, you will view an image and be asked to
identify what you see. Once you have become familiar with the image, go to the
next page. On that page, you will notice that the image is annotated, and
additional information provided to the left of the image.
If you need assistance with the meaning of annotations, click the Legend at the
bottom left of the page. A new window will open to help you.
We will start with Plasmodium ovale trophozoites in thin films.
