4. Collection of Blood Smears 5. Touch the drop of blood to the slide from below. 4. Slide must always be grasped by its edges. 2. Puncture at the side of the ball of the finger. 3. Gently squeeze toward the puncture site. 1. The second or third finger is usually selected and cleaned.
5. Preparing thick and thin films 1. Touch one drop of blood to a clean slide. 2. Spread the first drop to make a 1 cm circle. 3. Touch a fresh drop of blood to the edge of another slide. 6. Wait for both to dry before fixing and staining. 5. Pull the drop of blood across the first slide in one motion. 4. Touch the drop of blood by spreader slide at 45 degree angle.
Thick at one end, thinning out to a smooth rounded feather edge. Should occupy 2/3 of the total slide area. Should not touch any edge of the slide. Should be margin free, except for point of application
The purpose of fixation is to preserve tissues permanently in as life-like a state as possible. Fixation should be carried out as soon as possible after removal of the tissues (in the case of surgical pathology) or soon after death (with autopsy) to prevent autolysis.

Because the aqueous dye solutions were unstable, methanol was introduced as a solvent, and William Boog Leishman [7] and James Homer Wright [8] advocated use of methanol as a fixative prior to staining. Gustav Giemsa improved this technique by standardizing the dye solutions and adding glycerol to increase stability.
