Laboratory Procedures
SEGMENTED NEUTROPHIL (THE ADULT)
BAND CELL (THE “BABY” NEUTROPHIL)
HYPER-SEGMENTED NEUTROPHIL (THE SENIOR CITIZEN)
LYMPHOCYTE (THE GUARD DOG)LARGE NUCLEUS
MONOCYTE (THE SCAVENGER) HAS VACUOLES
EOSINOPHIL (THE ALLERGY SLAYER)GRANULES STAIN RED
BASOPHIL (THE UNKNOWN STRANGER)GRANULES STAIN BLUE
THE AGRANULOCYTES (NO GRANULES IN CYTOPLASM)
The Monocyte The Lymphocyte
If there appear to be granules in a Monocyte’s cytoplasm, it is probably debris from it’s last meal!
Look for vacuoles (Stomachs) to tell if it is a Monocyte.
THE GRANULOCYTES(HAVE GRANULES IN CYTOPLASM)
Segmented Neutrophils Basophils Eosinophils
On Basophils, the granules will stain BLUE On Eosinophils, the granules will stain RED
LETS COMPARE!
