🦩 Blood of a greater flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber).
The image shows:
- Heterophil (left) – with a pale basophilic nucleus and brick-red, spindle-shaped cytoplasmic granules.
- Eosinophil (right) – with a segmented basophilic nucleus and round/oval, brightly eosinophilic granules of various sizes.
- Monocyte (top) – with a constricted nucleus (reticular chromatin) and agranular basophilic cytoplasm.
Erythrocytes are also visible. Note that the cell shape is distorted due to adjacent elements. (Stain: Modified Wright’s method).
