Summary
| Description |
English: Numerous cholesterol crystals, as viewed in a direct microscopic examination of fresh synovial (joint) fluid, using crossed optical polarizers and a quarter-wave retarder plate. Cholesterol crystals are a rare finding in synovial fluid but have been reported in cases of rheumatoid arthritis.
Cholesterol crystals are identified in medical specimens by their plate-like structures, which are often notched. They are much more commonly observed in urine. |
