Containing an unusually high amount of fat.
The term has its roots in the "medical" name for fats, lipids.
In blood samples, these are identified as having milky serum (the normally clear or yellowish portion of the blood) after being centrifuged. Depending on the tests being done and the methodology used, this can interfere with test results. However, most labs have procedures for working around this problem.
A lipemic specimen contains excess lipids, which can interfere with protein measurements by causing turbidity in the sample. This turbidity can scatter light during photometric analysis, leading to an overestimation of total protein values. It is important to properly handle and centrifuge specimens to remove excess lipids before testing to obtain accurate results.
The cloudier your plasma is, the more platelets it has.I have not found any reference to the amount of platelets and plasma turbidity. Please see next answer..."Turbid, cloudy or milky serum (lipemic serum) may be produced by the presence of fatty substances (lipids) in the blood. Bacterial contamination may also cause cloudy serum. Moderately or grossly lipemic specimens may alter certain test results.A recent meal may produce transient lipemia; therefore, we recommend that patients fast 12-16 hours before a blood specimen is obtained."
Specimen collection can be identified by labeling each specimen with patient information, date and time of collection, and type of specimen. The specimen should be collected using proper techniques, stored in appropriate containers, and transported to the lab in a timely manner to maintain specimen integrity. Accurate documentation of the entire collection process is important for proper identification.
the specimen is the objective the microscope and a parts of microscope
because the thinner it is the clearer it is too see inside

Do you mean severe? Severe lipemia is the harsh presence of excess fats or lipids in the blood.
Lipemic blood serum refers to a condition where the serum is milky white from its high fat content. Lipemic blood serum refers to a condition where the serum is milky white from its high fat content.
Subject or example Specimen can mean an example of something eg Submit a specimen of your hand writing to the court. or specimen can mean a small sample of something. eg The doctor asked for a urine specimen to be tested for infection.
Milky/white
The answer depends on what the specimen is!
If a test requiring a fasting specimen shows elevated serum levels, it suggests that the patient likely did not fast before the test. This can affect the accuracy of the results for tests that require a fasting state to provide a baseline level for comparison. Repeating the test after proper fasting may be necessary for accurate results.
I think it means a restricted specimen, only because 'cuffed' brings to mind the image of handcuffs.
Yes, blood glucose levels can be falsely increased in lipemic serum due to interference in some laboratory methods used to measure glucose levels. Lipemic serum contains high levels of triglycerides or fats, which can affect the accuracy of glucose measurements by some glucose assays. This interference can result in erroneously elevated glucose readings.

It is the substance or the material being studied.
Cath spec is short for catheter specimen, a urine specimen collected by inserting a tube through the urethra into the bladder.
