A basophil is a granular leucocyte with a bi-lobed, heterochromatic nucleus, which is often obscured by the intensely stained large basophilic granules in the cytoplasm. Basophils are the least numerous of the granulocytes. Basophils are the least numerous of the blood cells and, while functionally similar to mast cells, they have somewhat different functions as well developmental origins. 1000x
