Size: 20 - 50 um
Cytoplasm: non granular, small blunt pseudopods
Megakaryoblast
Size: 20 - 60 um
Cytoplasm: granules START to form
Nucleus: may show lobulation
Promegakaryocyte
Size: 30 - 90 um
Cytoplasm: finely and diffusely granular
Nucleus: multi-lobulation, chromatin is coarser, no nucleoli visible
Granular Megakaryocyte
Size: 40 - 120 um
Cytoplasm: course clumps of granules aggregating into little bundles which bud off (platelets)
Nucleus: multi-lobulation, no nucleoli visible
Mature Megakaryocyte
last stage of megakaryocytic series which has no visible nucleoli
Mature Megakaryocyte
stage of megakaryocytic series which granules begin to form
Promegakaryocyte
smallest among the stages of megakaryocytic series
Megakaryoblast
