A normal RBC histogram is shown below. In comparison, the histogram for a patient with an MCV of 62 fL will show  a shift to the:

This data visualization used generated by the automated differential represents increasing cell volumes on the Y-axis and intracellular complexity on the X-axis.  A patient with an increased number of cells in this region is likely to demonstrate:

VCS technology is utilized to characterize cells in the WBC differential by which hematology analyzer manufacturer? 

Using appropriate terminology, evaluate the patient’s RBC count. Classify the red cells according to size and hemoglobin content.

The heme portion of the hemoglobin molecule consists of:

Calculate the RBC indices:

This WBC histogram demonstrates an increase in which cell population? 

Several cell types are listed below. Which cell will NOT exhibit visible nucleoli?

Cells are described as having an eccentric heavily stained (condensed chromatin) nucleus, high N:C ratio, and blue cytoplasm. A pale perinuclear Golgi complex is noted next to the nucleus. Identify this cell type:
