Figure 1.

The static scattering signal of RBC and the effects of ATP. Topographies of RBCs measured by diffraction phase microscopy: (a) a healthy RBC, (b) a RBC with irreversibly depleted ATP (low dose of inosine and iodoacetamide), and (c) high dose of inosine and iodoacetamide. Units for colorbar are micrometers. Scale bar indicates 5 μm. Light-intensity scattering patterns of (d) healthy RBCs, (e) RBCs with irreversibly depleted ATP (low dose of inosine and iodoacetamide), and (f) high dose of inosine and iodoacetamide. The thick line indicates the mean value and the area indicates the standard deviation (N = 30∕group). (g) p-values of scattering patterns between healthy RBCs and different groups of RBCs.
