Eosinophil has 1-3 segmented basophilic nucleus with medium size round eosinophilic granules. Segmented neutrophil has 1-5 segmented basophilic nucleus with fine pink granules. Band neutrophil has basophilic S or U-shaped nucleus with fine pale pink granules. Basophil has 2-4 segmented basophilic nucleus with purple red blue granules. Lymphocyte has large round deep blue nucleus with small amount pale blue cytoplasm. Monocyte has many forms of nucleus, eg. Round, bean or kidney shape, U-shape or sometimes has bilobed or trilobed nucleus with pale blue cytoplasm containing vacuoles. Platelets were round without nucleus and contained many purple red granules in palo blue cytoplasm.
