The objective of this chapter is to give you an opportunity to train your perception by observing several pictures. It is divided in three parts: «Compare»: you can place the pictures of various urinary sediments side by side to appreciate the differences. «Search»: you can search and observe specifically selected elements.

2023年3月2日 · Color is by far the most important characteristic to define different sedimentations, but other features such as diffusibility, translucency and adhesiveness have been used.
