 |  | Unsatisfactory poorly cellular smear, containing blood and few squamous cells. (obj. 10x) |
 |  | Unsatisfactory, bloody and poorly cellular smear, containing few intermediate (purple arrows) and one parabasal squamous cells (black arrow). (obj. 20x) |
 | | Unsatisfactory bloody and poorly cellular smear, containing few squamous cells in clusters. May be satisfactory if cellularity is of same level all over the smear. (obj. 20x) |
 | | Unsatisfactory bloody and poorly cellular smear, containing some squamous cells and extremely rare columnar endocervical cells (ellipse). (obj. 10x) |
 | | Menopausal smear with some intermediate squamous cells and parabasal cells with cytoplasmic acidophilia and slight nuclear enlargement: unsatisfactory smear (scant cellularity and air-dried). (obj. 10x) |
 | | Unsatisfactory smear because of haemorrhage (menstruation) and scant cellularity. (obj. 10x) |
 | | Unsatisfactory smear: morphological analysis is difficult due to blood partially masking the limited epithelial component. (obj. 20x) |
 | | Cellular but unsatisfactory smear: morphological analysis is difficult due to blood partially masking the cellular components. (obj. 20x) |
 | | Unsatisfactory smear because of inflammation and blood. (obj. 5x) |
 | | Cellular but unsatisfactory smear: morphological analysis is difficult due to blood partially masking the cellular components and to poor cellularity. (obj. 20x) |
 | | Unsatisfactory smear because of inflammation. Cell cluster difficult to analyse. Repeat after local treatment. (obj. 10x) |
 | | Unsatisfactory smear because of inflammation. Cell cluster where morphological analysis is difficult. Repeat after local treatment. (obj. 20x) |
 | | Unsatisfactory speciment showing atrophy (menopause). Large sheet of squamous epithelium with irregular outlines: pap smear air-dried before fixation. (obj. 10x) |
 | | Unsatisfactory specimen, atrophic and very inflammed. Small clusters of parabasal squamous cells and isolated cells with some nuclear atypia (slight enlargement) and cytoplasmic changes (acidophilia, vacuoles). Air-dried artefacts. Repear after local treatment. (obj. 20x) |
 | | Smear with haemorrhage (menses) and poor cellularity. However the finding of rare atypical cells gives it a screening value. (obj. 20x) |
