Osteoblast Morphology in Bone Marrow Smears

Cytological features of osteoblasts in bone marrow aspirates: morphology of large cells with eccentric nuclei and differentiation from plasma cells.

Bone marrow smear: cluster of osteoblasts with eccentric nuclei (x1000)
Bone marrow smear: cluster of osteoblasts with eccentric nuclei (x1000)

Osteoblasts: bone marrow showing large cells approximately 30 µm in diameter with eccentrically located nuclei and light blue cytoplasm. (x 1000)

And what is their difference from plasma cells? We discussed this exactly one year ago in a live broadcast.
