What's the difference between corpuscle and corpuscule?
Corpuscle
Definition:
(n.) A minute particle; an atom; a molecule.
(n.) A protoplasmic animal cell; esp., such as float free, like blood, lymph, and pus corpuscles; or such as are imbedded in an intercellular matrix, like connective tissue and cartilage corpuscles. See Blood.

Corpuscule
Definition:
(n.) A corpuscle.
Example Sentences:
(1) In hapatomas formed spontaneously without cirrhosis at Swiss mice numerous globular corpuscules of eosinophil character were found.
(2) Thus the number of RR increased in the RP patients and the controls with increase in the number of sensitized 0 Rhesus - red corpuscules; nevertheless there was a significant difference between the results obtained with the RP patients and the controls.
