The document describes the different types of leukocytes found in laboratory procedures. It outlines the key identifying characteristics of segmented neutrophils, band cells, hyper-segmented neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. Monocytes contain vacuoles and are distinguished from lymphocytes which have a large nucleus. Eosinophils and basophils contain granules that stain red and blue respectively.
