Blood - Monocyte

(Stain - Leishman)

  • has a C-shaped nucleus.
  • slightly larger than granulocytes (about 12-18 µm in diameter).
  • cytoplasm stains usually stronger than that of granulocytes.
  • cytoplasm does not contain any (light microscope) visible structures.
    • a few very fine bluish gains may be visible in some monocytes.
  • granules (visible in the EM) correspond to the primary granules of neutrophils (lysosomes). (More? EM - Monocyte)
  • can leave blood and enter connective tissue where they differentiate into macrophages.
