Abstract
All urinary sediment constituents described in Chap. 7 are presented both in bright-field mode and in phase-contrast mode. Urinary sediment components appear differently in the two microscopy techniques and the inexperienced user can quickly orient themselves with the help of the above-mentioned comparison. Urinary sediment constituents can “age,” thereby altering their morphology. The reader can practice differentiating all urinary sediment constituents with the help of numerous photographic images.
