Plasmodium falciparum Trophozoites, Thin Film

thin film Plasmodium falciparum trophozoites band forms

This image shows more band forms in P. falciparum.  

 

Notice these bands are quite thin and delicate.   This appearance is a result of storing blood.  

 

The parasites also seem to be more robust. Parasites are allowed to grow in blood that is stored.
