    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for use with a blood sample are described. The blood sample is stained with Hoechst stain and Acridine Orange stain. A plurality of images of the blood sample are acquired. An object is identified as being a white blood cell candidate. A first stained area, which is stained by the Hoechst stain and which is disposed within the white blood cell candidate, is identified. A second stained area, which is stained by the Acridine Orange stain and which is disposed within the white blood cell candidate, is identified. A white blood cell is detected by determining that structural features of the stained areas satisfy predetermined criteria associated with a white blood cell. Other applications are also described.

    Abstract: Provided is a method for imaging a blood sample and a kit and system for executing the method. The method includes introducing a cell suspension including red blood cells onto a base surface of a carrier having a vertical height (H) being greater than or equal to a vertical depth (h) of the cell suspension when on the base carrier, the cell suspension including a cell concentration (C) being determined by a defined function; allowing the cells in the cell suspension to settle on the base surface of the carrier to form a monolayer of cells thereon; and acquiring at least one microscope image of at least a portion of the monolayer of cells; wherein the at least one microscope image is obtained by a microscope set to Depth Of Field that is not more than 20% of the vertical height of the cell suspension settled on the base surface.
