We have traditionally used Microscope in a clinical laboratory for the determination of white blood cells of human blood smear. Now, in this study we were used Foldscope with Smartphone in the place of Microscope and examine many samples of human blood smear which was collected from local diagnostic centers. We were very quickly quanti-ty & morphology analysis of all types of WBC cells such as Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, Ba-sophils in blood smear with the help of Foldscope & image taken by Smartphone. The main objective of this study is to use Foldscopefor quantity & morphology analysis of human WBCs at field level especially poor resource area where healthcare services or centers is not available & where carry of microscope is not possible.
