An image from a peripheral blood smear showing schistocytes and marked thrombocytopenia that are commonly seen in patients with microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (50X oil immersion).
An image from a peripheral blood smear showing dark-blue staining artifact on top and outside of the red blood cells (100X oil immersion). A hypo-segmented neutrophil with mature clumped chromatin is also seen (left).
An image from a peripheral blood smear showing RBC poikilocytosis: tears, elliptocytes, and schistocytes in a patient with primary myelofibrosis. A large platelet (top), Neutrophil, and nucleated RBC (center) are also seen (50X oil immersion).
An image from a peripheral blood smear showing macrocytes, targets, tears, and schistocytes seen in a patient with Thalassemia (100X oil immersion). A neutrophil and small lymphocyte are also present.
An image from a peritoneal fluid cytospin slide demonstrating many macrophages, polymorphonuclear cells, and monocytes (60X oil immersion). Macrophages have vacuolation and a few have ingested red blood cells (bottom-left, bottom-right).
An image from a Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) cytospin slide showing two lymphocytes (center, bottom right), two neutrophils (center left, center right), and a nucleated red blood cell (bottom) surrounded by red blood cells (60X oil immersion).
An image from a peripheral blood smear showing marked poikilocytosis, including tears, schistocytes, targets, and elliptocytes seen in a patient with hemoglobin H disease (50X oil immersion).
An image from a peripheral blood smear showing targets, schistocytes, tears, spherocytes, microcytes, and hypochromic red blood cells seen in a patient with thalassemia (50X oil immersion).
An image from a peripheral blood smear showing dark-blue staining artifact on top and outside of the red blood cells (100X oil immersion). A hypo-segmented neutrophil with mature clumped chromatin is also seen (bottom).
An image of a peripheral blood smear demonstrating neutrophils with abnormally large fused granules seen in a patient with Chediak-Higashi syndrome (50X oil immersion). Two lymphocytes are present with no obvious abnormalities.
