Myeloscope

Myeloscope: a device for studying blood

A myeloscope is a microscopic device that is used to study the composition of blood. The word myelo comes from the Greek myelos, meaning bone marrow, as the myeloscope was originally used to analyze bone marrow cells. The word "skopeo" is translated as "observe" or "consider".

The myeloscope consists of an optical system and a lighting device. The blood sample is placed on a glass slide and covered with a glass lid to maintain its shape and prevent drying out. The slide is then placed on the microscope stage, where an optical system magnifies the sample to the required level to examine the composition of the blood.

The myeloscope can be used to examine different types of blood cells, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It can also be used to diagnose various blood diseases such as leukemia, bone marrow tumors and other disorders.

There are different types of myeloscopes, including a phase-transmitting myeloscope, which uses phase-transmission light to create an image, and a light-polarizing myeloscope, which uses polarized light to study crystalline structures in the blood.

In conclusion, the myeloscope is an important tool in medical laboratories for examining blood composition and diagnosing various blood diseases. It allows doctors to obtain information about the patient's health status and choose the most effective treatment.



A myeloscope is a medical device for examining the spinal cord. Typically, myeloscopy is performed infrequently in order to take biomaterial from the spinal canal. This procedure is designed to study the nerve root and diagnose degenerative changes in the spinal column. Some diseases of the neurovascular system and tumors can be detected by this method. Myelscopy is also performed if treatment for neurosurgical problems has already been carried out previously. A biopsy is the removal of a piece of tissue for histological examination to determine the extent to which the spinal cord has been affected by any conservative or surgical treatment.

In people suffering from osteochondrosis, damage to the nerve roots occurs as a result of the formation of vertebral hernias. Tissue destruction seriously affects blood circulation. The result is compression and thrombosis of cells. To identify disorders, doctors prescribe myeoscintigraphy. The examination is easily tolerated by patients, it is safe and painless. With myel
