(a) Evolution of $D_{out}$ vs the external medium viscosity, ${\eta }_{out}$, for $W_o=15$ $\mu$m. The data have been obtained by pooling the various $V_{cell}$ conditions for each ${\eta }_{out}$ in the stretching mode. (b) 1/${\tau }_r$ as a function of $V_{cell}$/$W_o$, for various conditions of ${\eta }_{out}$. Each point represents a statistic of at least 20 RBCs. P represents the P-value of the t-test.
