Considering the importance of hemocyte characterization for immunological studies, this work aimed to characterize the hemocyte types of Perna perna mussels combining transmission electron microscopy and flow cytometry with the classical optical microscopy. The results indicated four type of hemocytes: hyalinocytes, semigranulocytes, granulocytes and blast-like cells.
