For example, if all cells seem bluer than usual, this may be due to poor staining technique and cell identification must be made accordingly.</span></div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"> <br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></span></div>
