Q

Avian Eosinophils

A
  • Round cell, light blue cytoplasm
  • Granule size varies with species, but will be uniform within same patient
  • Granules brighter than heterophils

Q

Avian Basophils

A
  • Small round cell
  • Centrally located nucleus
  • Nucleus often hidden by granules
  • Granules are deeply basophilic
  • Cytoplasm (if seen) is colorless to light purple/red
