Description
MODEL RELEASED. Technician analysing samples from cervical smear tests. A sample of cells is obtained from the cervix of a patient using a scraper and is transferred into a preservative solution in a sample bottle (in the technician's hands). At the laboratory the technician prepares slides of thin layers of cells. The slides are checked under a microscope (left) for any abnormalities, such as cervical cancer. This technique of collecting cervical cells and preserving them in solution is called the ThinPrep Pap (Papanicolaou) test. It is better than the traditional Pap test because it gives a higher detection rate of abnormal cells.
