Illustrations of the urinary sediment

The variations in the microscopic examination of the sediment are numerous and this requires some training to be able to identify all elements correctly.
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.

«Quiz»: completing this test allows you to evaluate your knowledge and your aptitude in recognizing the elements of the urinary sediment.
