<p>The nucleus of rat neutrophils is highly segmented, coiled, or ribbon-like with numerous indentations. The cytoplasm is pale with fine, diffuse granules. Mild platelet aggregation.</p>
<p>Rat neutrophils have pale cytoplasm with fine, diffuse granules. The nucleus is highly segmented, coiled, or ribbon-like with numerous indentations. This cell’s doughnut-shaped nucleus is folded.</p>
<p>Blood smear with target cells, hypo- and polychromasia. </p>
<p>Anisocytosis, hypo- and polychromasia. In the centre, there is a neutrophil with a hypersegmented nucleus of which each segment is round – an atypical finding.</p>
<p>Blood smear of a rat showing various red blood cell morphologies: Howell-Jolly bodies (red arrow), helmet shapes, spherocytes, stomatocytes and a nucleated red blood cell.</p>

<p>Typical monocyte of a rat. Both the colour shade of the cytoplasm and the shape of the nucleus reflect distinctive characteristics of this cell type.</p>
