(a) Initial status (before deformation) and (b) final status (deformation completion) of a single RBC image and its 2 dimensional length along x and y axes (c) Aspect ratio R of the deformed RBC plotted as a function of total stretching force Ftot induced by the dual Bessel-like beams. Insets are typical deformed RBC images at two distinctive stretching phases: Reversible phase (left) and Irreversible phases (right). 20 samples were taken by CCD for analysis. The error bars are standard deviations.
