Light Microscopy
Reese-Ecker
o
Sodium Citrate, BCB, d.H2O
o Prevents coagulation and hemolysis
o Preserves RBC
o Provides necessary low specific gravity to
facilitate settling of platelet
o Provides fixation to reduce the
adhesiveness of the platelets
Becker-Cronkite
o Ammonium oxalate (hemolyzes RBC)
o Utilizes phase contrast microscopy
Unopette
o Developed in 1950
o Commercially prepared diluents
