Scientific Image Gallery
Welcome to our Scientific Image Gallery. Here you can find real-life examples of cell images, mostly (but not only) from peripheral blood films, that illustrate typical morphologic characteristics pointing to specific conditions or disorders. This constitutes their diagnostic value.

Blood smear of an aged rat (17-month-old) showing a picture of severe anaemia. In the centre, there is a neutrophil showing an atypically shaped nucleus, likely as a result of abnormal cell division.

The nucleus is doughnut-shaped with a clear outline suggesting that the basophil is relatively juvenile. Numerous small, purple granules are present.
