RBC Visualization: Cedar vs. Cinnamon Oil

This document contains two tables that summarize survey results on the visualization of red blood cells under a microscope using different oils. Table 1 shows that most respondents rated the visualization as excellent with both Cedar wood oil and Cinnamon oil, with no significant difference between the oils. Table 2 shows that most respondents did not see any discoloration of stained red blood cells with either oil, again with no significant difference. Statistical analysis confirmed there was no significant difference between the oils in terms of visualizing or affecting the stain of red blood cells.

Table 1. This table shows that 66.7% (10) of the respondents graded an excellent visualization on the
RBCs appearance using Cedar wood oil. 20.0% (3) of them graded an average visualization. The
remaining 13.3% (2) rated a fair visualization. On the other hand, 53.3% (8) of the respondents graded
an excellent visualization on the RBCs appearance using Cinnamon oil. 20.0% (3) of them graded an
average visualization. The remaining 26.4% (4) rated a fair visualization. The results above were
generated by performing Mann-Whitney test using the statistical software STATA. The statistical test
was performed to determine whether there is a significant difference between Cedar wood oil and
Cinnamon oil. Based on the P-value which is 0.372, there is no significant difference between the two
oils when it comes to observing the red blood cells in the microscope. Therefore, Cinnamon oil is
comparable with Cedar wood oil. The results are based on the respondents visualization and not on
speculation of what they believe or think and therefore should be reliable.

Table 2. This table shows that 100% (15) of the respondents did not see any discoloration on the stain of
RBCs when viewed using Cedar wood oil. On the other hand, when they used Cinnamon oil, there were
13.3% (2) respondents who said it was partially decolorized but the 86.7% (13) of them did not see any
discoloration. The results above were generated by performing Mann-Whitney test using the statistical
software STATA. The statistical test was performed to determine whether there is a significant
difference on the effect on stain of red blood cells using Cedar wood oil and Cinnamon oil as medium in
oil immersion microscopy. Based on the P-value which is 0.157, there is no significant difference
between the two oils when it comes to observing the effect on stained red blood cells. The results are
based on the respondents visualization and not on speculation of what they believe or think and
therefore should be reliable.
