==Basophils==
==Basophils==
Basophils are small spherical granulocytes with intensely staining round basophilic granules. The granules give the contour of the cell a cobblestone appearance and often obscure the nucleus. The nonlobed very dark blue to purple nucleus is slightly eccentric. The number of basophils in a differential leucocyte count is variable and species-dependent but basophils may not be frequently observed in some species of snakes.
