Examples
-
The coccal-shaped granules of the _eosinophile_ cells are stained more deeply oxyphile than those of the corresponding cells of the fowl.
-
The coarse granules of the _eosinophile_ cells appear to stain less deeply oxyphile, probably owing to the basophile staining of the cytoplasm.
-
The nucleus of the _eosinophile cell_ is ring-shaped or much divided, and the granules are coccal and stain oxyphile.
-
The cells probably corresponding to _eosinophile_ leucocytes have fine coccal-shaped granules, faintly staining eosinophile or neutrophile.
-
_eosinophile_ cells contain large deeply staining coccal-shaped granules.
-
_eosinophile_ cells are not so densely packed with coarse oxpyhile granules as in the human eosinophile, and the nuclei of these cells are usually much divided, or polymorphous.
-
_eosinophile_ cells are well stained and coccal-shaped, the nucleus is often ring shaped.
-
_eosinophile_ cells are large cells up to 20µ, the cytoplasm is basophile and contains coarse coccal-shaped oxyphile granules, and the nucleus is often much divided.
