Scanning Electron Microscope images of the Discocyte-Echinocyte Transformation of Red Blood Cells

[cire254]

Hi, could please tell me the Magnification these micrographs were taken at they are amazing images and would it be possible to know how you prepared the sample prior to SEM images i have Bio-SEM course next semester and would like to view this phenomenon in my class and a link to your Research would be much appreciated.

This is not a secret.

For SEM you need to put a droplet of blood into approximately 1-3 ml of isotonic (0.9%) sodium-chloride solution.

YOU HAVE TO SMEAR A MICRO-DROPLET FROM THIS DILUTION on the little target glass of the SEM and let it dry out. At lowest degree of dilution you can found echinocytes at the highest spherocytes in the sample.

Magnification about a group of cells was 2000x, about a single red blood cell up to 10 000x

Thank you for sharing this link. I do not understand it, but I admire your interest in this science. Very nice presentation Istvan. I did not even know this was on your channel and I see other videos I have missed. So I will take a look at those now. Have a good weekend. Fran

Thank Fran to have a look to my "private" medical research.

If you compare the number of visitors/ contra No. of comments, you can see, sometimes it does not matter, that my YT "friends will comment or not.

This video was downloaded and is permanently broadcasted by 20 different internet websites.

They have not "visitor counter" -so I have no idea, who and how many people have seen my 25 years old research.

Thanks Istvan for to shared me this fantastic video! A world into the microscope for me unknown. Fantastic with an appropriate music.

Have a good weekend.

Gracie mille Stephano,

This is a micro-world unvisible for the human naked eye.

Hi Istvan,

Very interesting research. That is the difference between you and I, because I am not a specialist. Thank you for this link!

Hi Tam,

This issue should be interesting, because it has attracted more visitors, than my best and oldest mucic video. This subject was "stolen" by my first visitor immediately on the first week, he has made a video via ligth microscopy about the same phenomenon.

Leginkább a gyönyörü Adagio-t "értettem" ebböl István. De nagyon érdekes volt nézni is. Zsuzsi

Másnak is ez tetszett Zsuzsi!

Érdemi, szakmai nem jött létre a témában!

(Ha orvosi lap lenne, nem YT, akkor talán)
