Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, micrograph
Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. Light micrograph of blood cells sampled from a lymphatic ganglion in a case of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, also called chronic lymphoid leukaemia (CLL)

Chediak-Higashi syndrome, micrograph
Chediak-Higashi syndrome. Light micrograph of blood cells in a case of Chediak-Higashi syndrome. The cells include neutrophil white blood cells with abnormal granules

Chronic myeloid leukaemia, micrograph
Chronic myeloid leukaemia. Light micrograph of blood cells from bone marrow in a case of chronic myeloid leukaemia. Leukaemia is a cancer where certain blood cells form in excess

Granulocyte blood cells, light micrograph
Granulocyte blood cells. Light micrograph of two types of granulocytes, a type of white blood cell (leucocyte). At left is a neutrophil, with an eosinophil at right

Chronic myeloid leukaemia, micrograph C015 / 6227
Chronic myeloid leukaemia. Light micrograph of bone marrow from a patient with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML). This cancer affects the myeloid tissue (bone marrow)

Acute myeloid leukaemia C015 / 6225
Acute myeloid leukaemia. Light micrograph of bone marrow from a patient with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). This cancer affects the myeloid tissue (bone marrow)

Sickle cell anaemia. Artwork of red blood cells in sickle cell anaemia (drepanocytosis). The sickle- shaped red blood cells (some seen at upper left) contrast with normal red blood cells (rounded)

Human blood cells, light micrograph
Human blood cells. Light micrograph of blood cells at a site of inflammation, showing red blood cells (erythrocytes, red) surrounded by many granulocytes (blue)

Activated granulocytes, SEM
Activated granulocytes. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of activated granulocyte, or polymorphonucleocytes (PMNs), white blood cells

Basophil white blood cells, artwork
Basophil white blood cells. Computer artwork of basophil white blood cells, showing their lobed nuclei (red). Basophils are the smallest and least common of the white blood cells

Eosinophil white blood cells, artwork

Granulocytes are a crucial component of our immune system, playing a vital role in defending our bodies against infections and diseases. These specialized white blood cells can be found in various forms, each with its unique characteristics. One such condition where they can affected is chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). In the micrograph of CLL, we can observe abnormal granulocyte development, which hampers their ability to fight off infections effectively. Another disorder that impacts granulocytes is Chediak-Higashi syndrome. The micrograph reveals enlarged granules within these cells, leading to impaired functioning and increased susceptibility to infections. Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) also affects granulocytes. Micrographs of CML display an excessive number of immature granulocytes called blasts, indicating uncontrolled growth and potential complications. In contrast, a light micrograph showcases healthy granulocyte blood cells at work. These powerful defenders patrol our bloodstream ready to engulf any foreign invaders they encounter. Moving back to CML but from another perspective - the micrograph C015/6227 highlights the presence of blast crisis cells in this type of leukemia. This image emphasizes the urgency for timely diagnosis and treatment to prevent further progression. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), as seen in micrograph C015/6225, displays abnormal maturation patterns within granulocyte precursors. This disruption compromises their functionality and weakens the body's defense mechanisms against pathogens. Apart from their role in immunity, not all microscopic images revolve around diseases; some focus on other cell types like fat cells observed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM). These images provide insights into adipose tissue structure and function while reminding us that there's more than one type of cell worth studying under a microscope. However, it's important not to overlook conditions like sickle cell anemia or psoriasis when discussing human blood cells' diversity.
