Scientific Image Gallery
Welcome to our Scientific Image Gallery. Here you can find real-life examples of cell images, mostly (but not only) from peripheral blood films, that illustrate typical morphologic characteristics pointing to specific conditions or disorders. This constitutes their diagnostic value.

Auto-immune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) in a case of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (B-CLL): Reticulocytes are increased, spherocytes are present, Coombs' test is positive.

Phagocytosis of a red blood cell by a monocyte in a case of auto-immune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA). The many spherocytes and polychromasia are clearly visible.
