Plasmodium falciparum Gametocytes, Thin Film

Group of platelets resembling gametocytes

This is not a gametocyte. It is a group of platelets with no RBC envelope. There is no central pigment or red chromatin. The outline is fuzzy, but it can be mistaken for a gametocyte because of its crescentic shape.
