Caption:
This photomicrograph depicts a Wright-stained buffy coat specimen prepared from an incubated, sieved sample of clotted blood obtained from a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The slide highlights the “L.E. phenomenon,” demonstrated here in a characteristic rosette formation (indicated by the pointer), composed of phagocytic leukocytes that have engulfed nuclear material released through lymphocyte lysis.
