β 11y agoIf red blood cells burst due to dilution with distilled water, it is more accurately described as hemolysis rather than staining. Hemolysis refers to the rupture of red blood cells and release of their contents, which can be observed as the solution becoming red due to hemoglobin release. Staining, on the other hand, involves the application of colored dyes to highlight specific structures or compounds for microscopic examination.
The process of diluting red blood cells in distilled water is called hemolysis. This process involves the rupturing of red blood cells when placed in a hypotonic solution like distilled water, causing them to swell and burst due to the osmotic pressure difference.
Blood films are stained to help visualize different cell types, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Staining techniques, like Wright's stain or Giemsa stain, highlight cellular structures and improve contrast, aiding in the identification of abnormalities or pathogens in the blood sample.
The distilled water is a hypotonic environment.
If a white blood cell is placed in distilled water, water will enter the cell through osmosis. This will cause the cell to swell and eventually burst, leading to its destruction. The process is known as lysis.
Distilled water would have a higher concentration of water molecules compared to red blood cells. Red blood cells have solutes dissolved in them, so they have a lower concentration of water molecules relative to distilled water. This concentration gradient would result in osmosis moving water into the red blood cells to equalize the concentrations.

uses a phase contrast microscope to view blood on a hemacytometer slide. A sample of the diluted blood mixture is placed in a hemacytometer, which is an instrument with a grid etched into its surface to guide the counting.
Red blood cells are counted in two ways. In the past and today in primitive conditions it is done manually. A sample of blood is diluted (otherwise there are too many cells) and then a small film of this diluted blood is smeared on a glass slide. A technician looks at the blood smear under a microscope and counts the number of red blood cells in a given area of the slide. Normally, today, the cells are counted using a machine. The machine passes a very small sample of the blood through a tiny tube where they are counted by one of two electronic techniques.

Gentian violet is used in white blood cell diluting fluid to help stain the nuclei of white blood cells, making them more visible for counting and identification under the microscope. This staining enhances the accuracy of the white blood cell count in a blood sample.
No, you cannot determine a person's blood type from a urine sample. Blood type is determined by antigens on the surface of red blood cells, which are not present in urine. To determine blood type, a blood sample is needed for testing.
Yes, you can test your blood sugar through a urine sample. The sample is checked with a colored dipstick that measures the presence of glucose in the urine. The blood sugar test with the blood sample is more accurate and more conventional.
