Lymphocyte in the upper area. Neutrophil with prominent granules and nuclear segmentation with threads in the centre.

Two lymphocytes and an erythroblast (upper left). The erythroblast has a condensed, densely stained nucleus. The right lymphocyte is atypical in that the nucleus shows ruggedness and the nuclear chromatin pattern is slightly different compared to a normal lymphocyte. Two red blood cells with Howell-Jolly bodies (lower left).

Monocytes show pleomorphic nuclei that may be round, indented or lobular. The extensive cytoplasm stains pale grey blue and frequently contains vacuoles.

Murine (mouse) monocyte with notch
Many monocytes have a nucleus with a big notch. This cell shows another, smaller notch on the upper right of the nucleus. The cytoplasm shows the typical greyish colour.

Band neutrophil with ring-shaped nucleus. Band forms are infrequently seen in healthy rodents, but may be observed during inflammation.

Polychromatic red blood cell (arrow). With immature red blood cells or deficient haemoglobin synthesis the red colour of haemoglobin and the blue staining of RNA become mixed to produce a polychromatic appearance. As the red blood cell matures and its haemoglobin content increases it appears more red.
