Application of atomic force microscopy in blood research

Figure 1 Some irregular granules were scanned in 5% dextrose. Scan size was 50 μm.

Figure 2 Finely branched granules were observed in PBS buffer. Scan size was 50 μm.

Figure 3 Fine structures of human erythrocyte membranes featured with the shape of pores and protrusions. The erythrocyte was mixed with 5% dextrose. Scan size was 500 nm.

Figure 4 Fine structures of human erythrocyte membranes is shown. The erythrocyte was mixed with PBS buffer. A lot of granules existed in the image. Scan size was 500 nm.
