Credit: University of Virginia An amoeboid scavenger leukocyte (white blood cell) that disposes of cellular debris. Eosinophils are often involved in allergic responses. A mature eosinophil is 12 to 15 microns in diameter and has chromatin similar to that of a neutrophil, but within a nucleus that typically has fewer (2-3) lobes. The large orange granules of an eosinophil make this the most readily recognizable cell in the blood.
