Fig. I. Authors' method of making blood films quickly learnt, and the making of a useful and good film is far easier in this way than in any other known to us (Fig,i). Immediately the film is made it should be waved to and fro until it is seen to be quite dry. The quicker the. film dries the more perfectly preserved will be the red cells of the blood. The Characters of a Good Film 1. As a film is needed to detect even the most minute forms of the parasite within the red cell, it is necessary that the red cells be well spread out and not distorted or lying over one another. To ensure this the film must be uniform and as thin as possible. 2. Films should be made so that, if desired, the leucocytes may be differentially counted. A.
