Morphology can suggest a lineage, but it cannot always prove it. Two cells might look identical but behave like total strangers. The Molecular Fingerprint (Flow Cytometry)
Cells are suspended in fluid and tagged with fluorescent antibodies.
The true power lies in the overlap. A pathologist might see "monomorphous medium-sized blasts" (Morphology) and use Flow Cytometry to confirm they are actually "CD10+ B-lymphoblasts."
