DARKFIELD MICROSCOPY (LIVE CELL ANALYSIS)
Darkfield Microscopy (Live Cell
Analysis) is a way of studying living whole blood cells. The procedure (done by
a Physician or his trainer) is performed by obtaining a drop of blood from a
finger. This drop of blood is placed on a microscope slide, and the slide is
placed under a specially adapted microscope that projects the dynamic image,
magnified 1400 times, onto a video screen. The light condenser on the
microscope “bends” the light to allow otherwise transparent cells to be seen
without killing them. With a darkfield light condenser, the objects appear
bright against a dark back ground. The practitioner can detect early signs of
illness in the forms noted on the slide. Specifically, darkfield microscopy
reveals distortions of red blood cells (which in turn may indicate nutritional
status), possible undesirable bacterial or fungal life forms, inflammation, and
immune activity. Finally, then general pattern of findings are most revealing
of a person’s imbalances.
