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.

The first microscopically identifiable cell of granulocytic cell line.
Cell description:
Size: 12-20 µm
Nucleus: large, round or slightly oval with diffuse chromatin pattern and often 1-5 nucleoli
Cytoplasm: pale blue and usually agranular, sometimes Auer rods visible
