The macrophage contains numerous purple granules (phagocytic material of unknown origin) and eosinophil granules in the cytoplasm (arrow). The phagocytosis of eosinophil granules supports tissue degranulation of eosinophils and underlying eosinophilic inflammation. Note the bacterial rods above the arrowed macrophage (and neutrophil) and in the upper right corner (modified Wright’s stain, 100x objective)
