So after that post this morning I was hell bent on getting this project started again. I searched for about an hour trying to find a place to purchase the Turks lysing solution with no luck, except a sketchy place in Australia but that would have taken a few weeks. So instead I was able to find the MSDS for Turks, and the primary ingredient turns out to be acetic acid, which we all know is vinegar. After a trip to the grocery store, I was able to obtain these pictures on my microscope, the blood was donated willingly by my brother.

| Vinegar added to the coagulated cells, only the white remain. I'm no doctor, but Eric has a high white blood cell count (he's sick). |
