microcyte

The so-called "microcytes" constitute an exception to this statement.

Consequently microcytes are but seldom found in dried specimens, whilst in wet preparations they are easily seen after some time.

He observed that, although the number of red corpuscles was raised so soon as a few hours after arrival at Reiboldsgrün, numerous poikilocytes and microcytes make their appearance at the same time.

Doubtless, therefore, without either production of microcytes or production de novo, the number of red corpuscles in capillary blood may undergo considerable variations.
