Case description

Is this a tissue section or a smear of an epithelial surface? What famous doctor is this smear named after?

In most non-atrophic normal Pap smears the predominant cell is a small nucleated abundantly cytoplasmed surface squamous cell (i.e. squame). Are there many here? Why not? Can the ratio between surface squamous cells and basal cells (with much higher nucleus/cytoplasm ratios) correlate with estrogen levels?
