             2. Rigor mortis

             3. Decomposition and soft ening of tissue.

             4. Condition of organs, viscera, bones and joints.

Ø  Post mortem is also done to recover organs in which experimental material has been injected.

Ø  Materials removed from post mortem should be autoclaved or incinerated.

Ø  Post mortem should be under taken as soon after animals death to avoid bacterial and viral infections.

Ø  Carcasses of animals should be placed in 1% cresol and Later disposed off by buring after post mortem.

                 Post mortem report is written in following manner.

A. Atopsy number

B. Name of owner of animal

C. History of death- Died/killed/Experimented

D. Species/sex/breed/colour/age and clinical diognsis illness.

Rericulocyte Staining process

  Rericulocyte Staining process A reticulocyte stain is a technique a day of Highlight RNA in reticulocytes, A type oc Immuture RBC. This stain commonly use in Hematology department in pathology lab. Edta sample mixed with Reticulocyte staining Solution(Methylene blue) ↓ After Mixed incubate at room temperature. ↓ Prepare   a blood smears ↓ Wait A slide Air-dried the smear ↓ Examined under microscope ↓ The number of reticulocyte count in the patient blood sample is countyed and expressed a percentage   The stain show the RNA in reticulocytes as a blue colour against the pink colour of the rest of the cell. The pattern of the blue colour indicatye the stage of the reticulocyte A hight reticulocyte count can indicate that immutur red blood cells are not surviving longenough, & that the bone marrow needs to increase production. The reticulocyte count is an important role of monitoring of red blood cellssurvival & formation activity o...

MICROSCOPE

                                     MICROSCOPE Introduction of microscope The microscope is indispensable for a clinical laboratory technician. It is very important to have a sound knowledge of the microscope which is going to be a constant comparing in his daily work. To obtain desired magnification for visualizing the objects, the scientists did untiring efforts. The world microscope is derived from two Greek words - ''micro'' (small) and ''scope'' (view). Simple microscope discoveries by Anthony von Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) and subsequently compound microscope by Robert Hook (1635-1703) were made. It is an instrument by which very small things can be seen which are not seen by the necked eye. This is done by producing an enlarged and well defined image of the objects by a system of lens. Principle of microscope The light beam, which falls on the object, p...
