Erythrocytes (RBCs) represent the main cell component in circulation and recently have
become a topic of intensive scientific interest. The relevance of erythrocytes as a model for …

Red blood cell (RBC) parameters such as morphology, volume, refractive index, and
hemoglobin content are of great importance for diagnostic purposes. Existing approaches …

We describe the use of a bright-field microscope for dynamic light scattering experiments on
weakly scattering samples. The method is based on collecting a time sequence of …

The high red blood cell (RBC) deformability is essential to optimal gas exchange between
gas and tissues in microcirculation in vivo. This review is focused on the flow behavior of …

Microscopy based on transport of intensity equation provides quantitative phase
distributions which opens another perspective for cellular observations. However, it requires …

We introduce Defocusing Microscopy (DM), a bright-field optical microscopy technique able
to perform total three-dimensional (3D) imaging of transparent objects. By total 3D imaging …

The Rayleigh-Sommerfeld back-propagation method is a fast and highly flexible volume
reconstruction scheme for digital holographic microscopy. We present a new method for 3D …

Background Plasmodium vivax accounts for the majority of human malaria infections outside
Africa and is being increasingly associated in fatal outcomes with anaemia as one of the …

Resveratrol (RV) is a potent antioxidant, anticancer and anti-inflammatory agent. Its main
target of action is the cell membrane; however, its effect on that of human erythrocytes has …

Despite the well-documented information, there are insufficient reports concerning the
effects of salicylate compounds on the structure and functions of cell membranes …
