This is a procedure where a sample of blood is viewed under a microscope for different blood cells such as red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, etc.
The morphology (size of the cell, shape of the blood cells) of these cells are then studied to evaluate blood related problems. Peripheral smear is examined for problems like anaemia, jaundice, blood-related cancers, sickle cell disease, causes of enlargement of the spleen, liver, or lymph nodes and occasionally, for detecting parasites such as malaria and filarial in the blood stream.

How is the blood sample taken?
To take the blood sample, a tourniquet (elastic) band is placed tightly on the upper arm. The patient then is asked to make a fist. This helps in the build-up of blood filling the veins and it becomes easy to collect the blood. The skin is cleaned before inserting the needle in the vein in order to prevent bacteria from entering. Needle is inserted into the vein of the arm and the blood sample is collected in the vacutainer.
