Morphometry of eosinophils in human blood.
Ultrastructural characteristics of human blood eosinophils have been analysed by morphometric methods in 18 healthy adults. Data were obtained relating to whole cell, nucleus, mitochondria and specific granules. No significant differences were found between the eosinophils of the 9 male and 9 female subjects. The results provide normal values against which changes in eosinophils in disease states may be assessed.
