Wright-Giemsa-stained peripheral blood smear showing nucleated red blood cell in center of field.
Counting nucleated red cells in an automated cell counter. In the WNR Channel, the analyzer measures side fluorescence and forward scatter. Side fluorescence measures the nucleic acid content to identify NRBCs in the same channel in which white cells are counted. Forward scatter measures cell size. WNR, white count and nucleated red blood cells. Source.
