Title: Anisocytosis of erythrocytes in peripheral blood smear (human) Description: Stain: May-Grünwald-Giemsa (MGG). (A) shows normal human erythrocytes in a blood film, while (B) shows anisocytosis. The small cells are called microcytes. Anisocytosis is an increase in the variability of erythrocyte size beyond that which is observed in a normal healthy subject. It is a common, non-specific abnormality in hematological disorders. For example in iron deficiency anisocytosis precedes anemia.
