**Prompt:** Identify the white blood cell.

**Description:**
The image contains a microscopic view of blood cells. Among the cells, there is one that stands out with a distinctly darker color, which is likely the white blood cell (leukocyte). The white blood cell appears larger and has a multi-lobed nucleus, often stained a bluish or purplish color, making it easily distinguishable from the surrounding red blood cells (erythrocytes), which are smaller and have a uniform red appearance.
