As it’s snowing and my plans for the day are postponed, I decided to stop putting off taking a sample of my blood to enable me to start visually analysing my red blood cells. I could have taken a syringe to my arm, but that seems a bit excessive as I only need a tiny drop, so I used a lancet to prick my skin and draw the blood – a surprisingly large amount flowed out which I then dripped into a phial with anti-coagulant. I’m waiting for the slides to dry, then I’ll view them under the microscope, take photos and hopefully make a stop-motion animation.
