An image from a bone marrow smear demonstrating numerous myeloid precursors arrested at the promyelocyte stage, and cells with bundles of auer rods known as faggot cells in a patient with acute promyelocytic leukemia (50X oil immerson).
An image from a peripheral blood smear showing numerous small mature lymphocytes and smudge cells seen in a patient with CLL (100X oil immersion). Numerous spherocytes and increased polychromasia is also noted (out of focus), indicating an auto-immune hemolytic process.

An image from a peripheral blood smear showing myeloblasts (60X oil immersion). One myeloblast contains a faint auer rod (center, below another myeloblast).
