Dracula 3: The Path of the Dragon Hints

How does the Krüger testing process work?

  • 1 of 20: Pick up the test tube with the blood in it that you want to test, then use it on the interactive spot that's just above the sampling machine's + and - buttons.
  • 2 of 20: Lower the filament into the test tube by using the lever that's to the left of the filament's clamp.
  • 3 of 20: As the last page of Krüger's letter mentions, you press the machine's + button to get the filament filled.
  • 4 of 20: Take the filament and put it on the glass plate of the microscope that's to the right of the sampling machine.
  • 5 of 20: Click on the microscope's eyepieces to get a magnified view of the filament.
  • 6 of 20: Notice the small box near the top right corner of the screen with two circles in it.
  • 7 of 20: Click on the circle with one dot inside it to mark all of the mononuclear granulocytes that are in the filament.
  • 8 of 20: After you do that, you can see how many of those there are in the sample by checking the number that's displayed above the small box.
  • 9 of 20: Write that number down, since it's one of the two important test result numbers that you'll need later.
  • 10 of 20: Then click on the three-dot circle in the small box to mark the rest of the granulocytes. The number at the top of the screen should read 100 after you do this.
  • 11 of 20: NOTE: You don't need to write down how many polynuclear granulocytes there are, since that will always be 100 minus the number of mononuclear granulocytes, which you've already noted down.
  • 12 of 20: Exit the microscope view and pick up the filament.
  • 13 of 20: Use it on the sampling machine's clamp to put it back there, then use the lever to lower the filament back into the test tube.
  • 14 of 20: Press the machine's - (minus) button to return the marked cells to the blood in the test tube.
  • 15 of 20: Doing that raised the filament back up, so relower it by using the lever again.
  • 16 of 20: Press the + button to get a sample of the mixed (marked and unmarked) granulocytes.
  • 17 of 20: Pick up the filament and put it on the microscope as before.
  • 18 of 20: When you look into the microscope this time, you'll get a number of marked granulocytes without having to click on either of the two circles in the small box.
  • 19 of 20: Write down that number, since it's the other important number that you'll need to calculate the test results.
  • 20 of 20: To get the sampling machine ready for the next analysis, return the filament to its clamp, then lower the filament into the test tube and press the - button. You can then remove the test tube and return it to the rack (by clicking on the rack's empty spot).
