Neutrophil Granulocytes at Various Stages of Maturation in the Blood of a Patient Who Has Had a Severe Heart Attack

Caption

This image shows neutrophil granulocytes at various stages of maturation in the blood of a patient who has had a severe heart attack. This image was captured using a high-resolution microscope. The cell nucleus is highlighted in grey, while two typical surface features of the cells are highlighted in orange and turquoise. The immature precursor cell, known as a 'preNeu,' can be identified by its round cell nucleus.
