Blood smear

A blood smear, peripheral blood smear or blood film is a thin layer of blood smeared on a glass microscope slide and then stained in such a way as to allow the various blood cells to be examined microscopically.

See Leishman stain and Blood smear

Eosin

Eosin is the name of several fluorescent acidic compounds which bind to and form salts with basic, or eosinophilic, compounds like proteins containing amino acid residues such as arginine and lysine, and stains them dark red or pink as a result of the actions of bromine on eosin.

See Leishman stain and Eosin

Giemsa stain

Giemsa stain, named after German chemist and bacteriologist Gustav Giemsa, is a nucleic acid stain used in cytogenetics and for the histopathological diagnosis of malaria and other parasites. Leishman stain and Giemsa stain are staining.

Gustav Giemsa

Berthold Carl Gustav Giemsa (November 20, 1867 – June 10, 1948) was a German chemist and bacteriologist who was a native of Medar-Blechhammer (now part of the city Kędzierzyn-Koźle).

H&E stain

Hematoxylin and eosin stain (or haematoxylin and eosin stain or hematoxylin-eosin stain; often abbreviated as H&E stain or HE stain) is one of the principal tissue stains used in histology. Leishman stain and H&E stain are staining.

Jenner's stain

Jenner's stain (methylene blue eosinate) is used in microscopy for staining blood smears. Leishman stain and Jenner's stain are Romanowsky stains and staining.

John Vivian Dacie

Sir John Vivian Dacie, FRS (20 July 1912 Putney, London – 12 February 2005) was a British haematologist.

Malaria

Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease that affects vertebrates.

Methanol

Methanol (also called methyl alcohol and wood spirit, amongst other names) is an organic chemical compound and the simplest aliphatic alcohol, with the chemical formula (a methyl group linked to a hydroxyl group, often abbreviated as MeOH).

See Leishman stain and Methanol

Methylene blue

Methylthioninium chloride, commonly called methylene blue, is a salt used as a dye and as a medication.

See Leishman stain and Methylene blue

Microscopy

Microscopy is the technical field of using microscopes to view objects and areas of objects that cannot be seen with the naked eye (objects that are not within the resolution range of the normal eye).

See Leishman stain and Microscopy

Pathology

Pathology is the study of disease and injury.

See Leishman stain and Pathology

Redox

Redox (reduction–oxidation or oxidation–reduction) is a type of chemical reaction in which the oxidation states of the reactants change.

See Leishman stain and Redox

Romanowsky stain

Romanowsky staining is a prototypical staining technique that was the forerunner of several distinct but similar stains widely used in hematology (the study of blood) and cytopathology (the study of diseased cells). Leishman stain and Romanowsky stain are Romanowsky stains and staining.

See Leishman stain and Romanowsky stain

Scotland

Scotland (Scots: Scotland; Scottish Gaelic: Alba) is a country that is part of the United Kingdom.

See Leishman stain and Scotland

Staining

Staining is a technique used to enhance contrast in samples, generally at the microscopic level.

See Leishman stain and Staining

Trypanosoma

Trypanosoma is a genus of kinetoplastids (class Trypanosomatidae), a monophyletic group of unicellular parasitic flagellate protozoa.

See Leishman stain and Trypanosoma

White blood cell

White blood cells (scientific name leukocytes), also called immune cells or immunocytes, are cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders.

William Boog Leishman

Lieutenant-General Sir William Boog Leishman, (6 November 1865 – 2 June 1926) was a Scottish pathologist and British Army medical officer.

Wright's stain

Wright's stain is a hematologic stain that facilitates the differentiation of blood cell types. Leishman stain and Wright's stain are Romanowsky stains and staining.
