Here's a seasonal image of a slide, showing the striking feature of ferning. I'm no expert in the phenomenon (rarely see it in my practice), but it reflects the protein/salt composition of the fluid, in this case a vitreous aspirate. Rather pretty 😊

@mhthaung Ah, ferning. Used to look for this regularly as a family doc on L&D but haven't thought of it in many years. Thanks.

@brianpierce I see it infrequently enough that it still makes me smile.
