Plasmodium falciparum Trophozoites, Thin Film

alkaline stained thin film Plasmodium falciparum trophozoites

There are several trophozoites in this image. Recognition becomes easier after you have seen the arrows. As we continue this process,   the eye becomes accustomed to picking up the small structures, so you may not even need the arrows after a while. This stain is alkaline, making the image quite blue.
