📌BLAST and LYMPHOCYTE 📸They stood side by side specifically for the shot, so you can clearly see how they differ
🔹Size: Blasts are usually larger than a typical lymphocyte.
🔹Cytoplasm: Blasts have scantier and more basophilic cytoplasm compared to a lymphocyte.
🔹Chromatin: Condensed and dense in a lymphocyte. The photo shows that it is darker, richer in color, and uniform (as if the same spot was colored several times with a marker) 🖍️ In a blast, the chromatin is loose, delicate, reticular, with nucleoli present (though not always).
*The description is not universal but provides a basis in most cases.
