Figure 6.9 | Basophil
The granules in basophils (1) are not as numerous as in eosinophils (see Fig.
6.5); however, they are more variable in size and less densely packed and stain
dark blue or brown. Although the nucleus is not lobulated and stains palely
basophilic, it is usually obscured by the density and number of granules.
The basophils (1) constitute less than 1% of blood leukocytes and are,
therefore, the most difficult to find and identify in a blood smear.
