Metachromatic granules are usually present representing stored phosphate regions.

This formulation enhances the formation of metachromatic granules within the cells of the organisms.

By contrast, promonocytes have a more convoluted nucleus, and their cytoplasm may contain metachromatic granules.

Special stains like Alberts's stain and Ponder's stain are used to demonstrate the metachromatic granules formed in the polar regions.

Cytochemical properties of the leukemic cells must be typical of mast cell derivation (presence of metachromatic granules staining with alpha-naphthyl chloroacetate esterase, but not with peroxidase).

Polyphosphate granules are called metachromatic granules due to their displaying the metachromatic effect; they appear red or blue when stained with the blue dyes methylene blue or toluidine blue.
