Morphology can suggest a lineage, but it cannot always prove it. Two cells might look identical but behave like total strangers. The Molecular Fingerprint (Flow Cytometry) Flow Cytometry in Neoplastic Hematology Morphol...
As cells pass a laser beam, the machine reads their size (forward scatter) and internal complexity (side scatter). This is for informational purposes only
The true power lies in the overlap. A pathologist might see "monomorphous medium-sized blasts" (Morphology) and use Flow Cytometry to confirm they are actually "CD10+ B-lymphoblasts." Learn more Morphology can suggest a lineage, but
The microscopic world of hematology is often a battle between what we see and what is actually there. In the diagnosis of neoplastic diseases, the "story" is one of collaboration between traditional morphology and the high-tech precision of flow cytometry. The Visual Clues (Morphology)
This is where the story shifts from "how it looks" to "who it is." Flow cytometry acts as a high-speed interrogator for cells.
