Bacteria is commonly observed a smear made during late fecund to early diestrus may appear similar to one made in early or mid proestrus. Shallow cells the biggest cells seen on a vaginal cytology and are gotten from the furthest layer of non-keratinized epithelial cells. They are polygonal fit, level, and frequently resemble being moved up. The cores are missing or pyknotic, which means little and dim.
