Crystals that appear to be rhombic-shaped and are blue when aligned with the slow vibration of red compensated polarized light are:
A) Monosodium urate
B) Calcium pyrophosphate
C) Hydroxyapatite
D) Corticosteroid

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Calcium pyrophosphate crystals typically appear rhombic-shaped and display a blue color when aligned with the slow vibration of red compensated polarized light. Monosodium urate crystals are typically needle-shaped and appear yellow when aligned with the same light. Hydroxyapatite crystals are typically rod-shaped and do not show polarization under compensated light. Corticosteroids are not crystals, but rather a type of medication.
