Figure 3. Dispersion of erythrocytes on a cell microarray chip and confinement in the microchambers.

Figure 3

Photographic light microscopic images of erythrocytes on a cell microarray chip (a) before and (c) after washing of the chip surface. Schematic cross-section images of erythrocytes in microchambers (b) before and (d) after washing. After washing, the erythrocytes had formed a monolayer in the microchambers. (e) Real pictures of erythrocyte suspensions with hematocrits of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 in microchambers after washing, respectively. The over 0.75% hematocrit samples show tight confinement of the erythrocytes in the microchambers.
