Q

Microscopic Examination of Urine Procedure

A
  1. Bring pathologic urine samples in the laboratory
  2. Fill the test tube with % full of urine
    **Take note of the color and chemical properties of the specimen by using a dipstick (for correlation only)
    before centrifuging
  3. Centrifuge at high speed for 5-10minutes
  4. Decant the supernatant fluid and allow throw tube to stand for some time
  5. Focus first under the low power objective and then examine well under the high power objective
