 TNCC‐BASO scattergrams on the Sysmex XT‐2000iV. (A) A normal scattergram of a canine peripheral blood sample showing the location of the different cell populations. lc, lysed cells, which in blood correspond to all nucleated cells except basophils; lr, lysis‐resistant cells, which in blood correspond to basophils. (B) An acellular scattergram. Only scattered cells are seen. (C) An enlarged profile. The lc area contains more cells than peripheral blood and is surrounded by scattered cells. (D) A neoplastic (round cell) profile. Many cells are seen in the lc region that extend toward the lr region on the right. (E) A neoplastic (epithelial/mesothelial) scattergram from a pulmonary carcinoma. In addition to the large number of cells in the lc region, many cells are seen extending toward the lr region in the upper right corner of the scattergram. (F) A scattergram from an effusion containing lipid (lipid profile). A curvilinear profile extends from the base of the lc region toward the right of the scattergram. This finding was often associated (as in this case) with the presence of cells in the lr region. TNCC, total nucleated cell count.
