Cytoplasm is basophilic with perinuclear hof. Azurophilic (primary) granules can be seen. Nucleus is usually round to oval-shaped with nucleoli and relatively fine chromatin.

Cytoplasm is more pinkish blue with both azurophilic (primary) and specific (secondary) granules. Nucleus usually eccentrically placed and may appear flattened on one side. Nucleoli usually not visible and chromatin is still fine with some clumping.

Cytoplasm is pink with specific granules distributed throughout. Nucleus is indented less than half of the nucleus, forming a kidney-shape. Chromatin is clumped.

Cytoplasm is pink with specific granules. Nucleus lacks segmentation and has uniform thickness, usually forming a “C” or “S” shape. Chromatin looser than that of segmented neutrophils. Few bands in the peripheral are normal, but more may indicate infection, inflammation, or myeloproliferative disorders.

Cytoplasm is pink with specific granules. Nucleus is heavily clumped with thin filament connecting usually 2-5 lobes. Chromatin is heavily clumped.
