The presence of these thread-like filaments is the most significant feature of segmented neutrophils and is the basis for distinguishing a segmented neutrophil from a band.
German scientist Victor Schilling (1883-1960) differentiated neutrophils into categories based upon their morphology, which included "myelozyten, jugendliche, stabkernige und segmentkernige," translated myelocytes, metamyelocytes, bands and segmented neutrophils.
