 |
Reticulocytes in peripheral blood smear (human) | Stain: Brilliant cresyl blue. After expulsion of the erythroblastic nucleus the remaining cell is called reticulocyte. This staining visualizes the remained aggregated strands of polysomes as a fine network. The expulsed nucleus will be phagocytosed by macrophages and reticular cells in the bone mar... | Poja Histology Collection - Blood & Bone Marrow Subset | |

 |
Reticulocytosis in peripheral blood smear (human) | Stain: May-Grnwald-Giemsa (MGG). The slightly pale blue stained cells (1) represent the reticulocytes. These young red blood cells are stained bluish because of the presence of ribosomal RNA. | Poja Histology Collection - Blood & Bone Marrow Subset | |
