An image from a peripheral blood smear showing tears, elliptocytes, schistocytes, and a giant platelet seen in patients with primary myelofibrosis (50X oil immersion). A neutrophil (right) and monocyte (left) are also present.
An image from a bone marrow smear demonstrating a promyelocyte (center) with primary granules and a golgi clearing seen in a patient with a normal bone marrow (100X oil immersion). Other myeloid and erythroid precursors are also present.
An image from a peripheral blood smear demonstrating marked spherocytosis and polychromasia in hereditary spherocytosis (50X oil immersion). A nucleated red blood cell (center) and normal leukocytes can also be seen.
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).
