Everything begins with a blood smear or bone marrow aspirate. Under the microscope, a pathologist looks for "blasts"—cells that have lost their way. Are the cells abnormally large? The Nucleus: Is the chromatin clumped or fine? The Clues: Presence of Auer rods or specific granules.
As cells pass a laser beam, the machine reads their size (forward scatter) and internal complexity (side scatter). Flow Cytometry in Neoplastic Hematology Morphol...
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." Everything begins with a blood smear or bone marrow aspirate

Cells are suspended in fluid and tagged with fluorescent antibodies.
