Atlas Interpretation:
Type of Preparation: SurePath/ LBP
Magnification: High
Adequacy Description:
NILM Endocervical cells
Cytomorphologic Criteria: Satisfactory squamous cellularity. Endocervical cells are seen in a honeycomb arrangement.
Explanatory Notes: An adequate liquid based preparation should have an estimated minimum of 5,000 well-visualized/preserved squamous cells. This image depicts the approximate cellular density of an adequate(>5000 cells) SurePath specimen. It is to be used as a guide in assessing squamous cellularity of SurePath specimens. Endocervical cells are present, indicating that the transformation zone has been sampled (a minimum of 10 well-preserved endocervical or metaplastic cells is required; they do not have to be in groups).
