25-Howell–Jolly bodies (RBC inclusion)
Image from a case of megaloblastic anemia due to severe vitamin B12 deficiency.Definition: Howell–Jolly bodies are typically round, smooth, and single, and represent nuclear remnants of dense chromatin. They are frequently found in smears of asplenic individuals or in megaloblastic anemia.24- Click here to show comment

16- Degenerative changes in blood cell morphology with samples that are collected in EDTA
4 Pictures show degenerating neutrophil with indistinct nuclear segmentation and many vacuoles and Erythrocytes are crenated.
Morphologyical changes In erythrocytes : erythrocytes began to show poikilocytosis with crenated forms and cytoplasmic spikes (burr cells, echinocytes) Morphological changes in granulocytes : include cytoplasmic rupture, loss of nuclear shape, elongation or indistinct segmentation of granulocyte nuclei, loss of chromatin definition (appear to have liquefied), pyknotic nuclei (necrobiotic forms), degranulation and cytoplasmic vacuolation... Blood film should be made within 5 hours of collection from blood anticoagulant with EDTA to avoid degenerative changes
