The Microscopic Diagnosis of Malaria
thin film
Plasmodium
falciparum
trophozoites
Are there any parasites in
this image?
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.
