BLOOD CELLS
EOSINOPHILS
The upper image shows a nucleated cell that is slightly larger than a red blood cell. Its nucleus has two lobes that are united by a thin strand of chromatin but this strand can not be always oserved - hover your cursor over the image to distinguish the two lobes.
The cytoplasm is filled with large granules, the specific granules of eosinophils. The occupy the cytoplasm and some of them are seen over the nucleus. The granules stain well with eosin and show an orange color in the smears.
A cell with these features is certainly an eosinophil.
