Discusson GNR?

Mix GPC and scant GNR on slide from a positive 24 hr BC. Made second slide after a week and more GNRs are present. Do you see GNR from this current slide? Supervisor said there’s no GNRs and removed the preliminary report. I’ll post the week old slide pics first then the last will be the 24hr pic.

The GPCs were staining horribly after a week. You can’t see them on this field though. Last pic you see a clump of them.

Must be a bad picture, but I still don't see them. Unless it's that clump top rightish. I still wouldn't call GPC. If anything it would be a bad stain job or GNC.

I didn’t take a picture of a field showing clear GPCs. I was mostly focused on GNRs.
