Anemic bone marrow smear in iron deficiency (human) | Stain: May-Grnwald-Giemsa (MGG). Due to iron deficiency the erythrocytes (1) look empty, while also the erythroblasts (2) are relatively small and show a ruffled cell border. | Poja Histology Collection - Blood & Bone Marrow Subset | |

Anisocytosis of erythrocytes in peripheral blood smear (human) | Stain: May-Grnwald-Giemsa (MGG). (A) shows normal human erythrocytes in a blood film, while (B) shows anisocytosis. The small cells are called microcytes. Anisocytosis is an increase in the variability of erythrocyte size beyond that which is observed in a normal healthy subject. It is a common, non... | Poja Histology Collection - Blood & Bone Marrow Subset | |

Band and hyper segmented neutrophils in peripheral blood smear (human) | Stain: May-Grnwald-Giemsa (MGG). (A) shows a young band neutrophil with a non-segmented nucleus. (B) shows mature neutrophils with more than 6 nuclear lobes (hyper segmented). The smear also shows anisocytosis with both microcytes and macrocytes. | Poja Histology Collection - Blood & Bone Marrow Subset | |

Band form of neutrophilic granulocyte | Scheme electron microscopy. From CFU-S (colony forming units-spleen) stem cells arise CFU-GM (colony forming unit-granulocyte/monocyte) stem cells. The latter divide by mitoses and differentiate via promyeloblasts and myeloblasts into neutrophilic myelocytes (the last proliferative stage). The next ... | Poja Histology Collection - Blood & Bone Marrow Subset | |
