<p>Blood film prepared after storage of the EDTA blood for more than one day. A safe morphological differentiation is no longer possible.</p>
<p>Cell description: </p> <p>Size: 20 µm </p> <p>Nucleus: kidney- to band-shaped </p> <p>Cytoplasm: grey and clear with fine azurophilic granules </p> <p>They are shortly located in the peripheral blood and then move into the tissue where they differentiate into macrophages. Function: Phagocytosis either of harmful pathogens or dead, dying or damaged cells from the blood. </p>
<p>Cell from the mucous membrane epithelium of the mouth in a drop of saliva.</p>
<p>There are two giant platelets surrounded by small platelet aggregates. Giant platelets are occasionally seen in healthy untreated mice. If there is an increased incidence of giant platelets with decreased platelet counts, the bone marrow should be examined for megakaryocytic changes.</p>
<p>Band neutrophil at the top with a backward-folded appearance of the ring-shaped nucleus. Below that, there is an eosinophil with a nucleus of twisted appearance and numerous round, dark orange stained granules.</p>
<p>The nucleus of a mouse eosinophil is usually band- or ring-shaped, lighter in colour and slightly more delicate than the nucleus of a neutrophil. The cytoplasm contains large, round, and dark orange stained granules.</p>
<p>To the right, there is an eosinophil with numerous granules obscuring the shape of the nucleus. Lymphocyte to the left. </p>
<p>Centrally located erythroblast with a densely stained nucleus and dark purple cytoplasm. The large lymphocyte below that is similar in size to a monocyte but has less cytoplasm.</p>
<p>Giant lymphocyte with denser nuclear chromatin than found in smaller or medium-sized lymphocytes. It is similar to a monocyte, but the shape of the nucleus is smooth and roundish with the cell looking slightly swollen.</p>
