    Rouleaux of red blood cells under the microscope is an artifact which occurs when the blood sample at the edge of the coverslip [15] starts to dry out; where a large number of red blood cells clump together; or when the blood starts to clot when contacted with the glass. These artifacts are observed in only small, selected areas on the slide ...
