                                        FIGURE 7–4  Eosinophilic metamyelocyte.




               SIZE:  10-15 mm
               NUCLEUS:  Indented; kidney bean shape;
                  indentation is less than 50% of the width of the
                  hypothetical round nucleus
               Nucleoli:  Not visible
               Chromatin:  Coarse, clumped
               CYTOPLASM:  Colorless
               Granules:
                  Primary:  Few
                  Secondary:  Many pale orange to dark orange;
                    appear refractile
               N/C RATIO:  1.5:1
               REFERENCE INTERVAL:
               Bone Marrow:  0% to 2%
               Peripheral Blood:  0%
