Task overview

Rimek International, a major actor in private pharmaceutical manufacturing, is running a study to assess the effectiveness of recent advances in the treatment of malaria.

Instructions

This task requires you to identify blood cells infected with malaria parasites. The malaria parasite goes through a number of growth stages. For this task you are required to identify the parasites that are in a specific growth stage (ring-form with two adjacent dots). Look at the image below and

  1. Count the number of malaria parasites in ring-form, having double chromatin dots.
  2. Count the total number of blood cells in the image.

Some images may be ambiguous and require guesses or estimates. Please keep in mind that the quality of any such estimates will directly influence the quality of this research.
