The connections between these lobes are often so slender that the cell appears to have multiple nuclei. Another characteristic feature of this type of cell is the grainy appearance of the cell's cytoplasm under the microscope when stained with a stain called &quot;Wright's stain,&quot; thus the other name for this type of white blood cell: &quot;granulocyte.&quot;]]></description>
