Basophilic metamyelocyte: Derived from basophilic myelocyte, which is not represented in this figure. Basophilic myelocytes are scarce and may not be seen in a single marrow smear preparation. It is believed that their granules are water soluble. This cell is no longer capable of cell division. The nucleus is oval to kidney-shaped. Cytoplasm has basophilic granules.
Basophilic band: An immature basophil with a horseshoe-shaped nucleus. There are basophilic granules in the cytoplasm.
Neutrophilic band: See Plate 58. Note the difference in cytoplasmic granularity between the neutrophilic band and the basophilic band.
Segmented neutrophil: See Plate 58.
