NUCLEAR DUST IN ERYTHROCYTES

 

Description:

Fine, small, reddish-blue granules spread in erythrocytes, residues of nuclear material. They must be differentiated from basophilic granules. They occur exclusively in non-nucleated erythrocytes.

Size:

Changeable.    

Shape:

Smaller than Howell-Jolly bodies and usually only just visible.
