They contain a bilobed nucleus and their granules stain red, due to the eosin dye. Plus, the granules themselves look almost crystalline. Don't get them confused with basophils which also have a bilobed nucleus BUT basophils granules do not stain well (and when they do they stain blue) in comparision.
