Detailed explanation-1: -Neutrophil granulocytes have a mean volume of 500 fl and, in dried fixed smears, a diameter of 9–15 µm. Their cytoplasm is slightly acidophilic and contains many very fine granules that stain with neutral dyes; the granules stain a faint purple color with Romanowsky stains (Figs 1.1 and 1.3).
Detailed explanation-2: -The granules in a neutrophil are small, numerous, and are stained a light-pink to bluish-purple, “neutral” color. The cytoplasm of a neutrophil is light pink. When a person is fighting infection, the granules may be dark colored. This is called toxic granulation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Neutrophils have nuclei with several lobes and fine purple granules in their cytoplasm. Their are termed neutrophil, because their granules are not very amenable to staining with either acidic or basic dyes. They are the most numerous of the leukocytes, making up 50-70%.
Detailed explanation-4: -BASOPHIL. The basophilic granules in this cell are large, stain deep blue to purple, and are often so numerous they mask the nucleus.
