Microdeformation of RBCs under oxidative stress measured by digital holographic microscopy and optical tweezers
Abstract:
This paper utilized digital holographic microscopy and optical tweezers to study microdeformation of red blood cells (RBCs) dynamically under oxidative stress. RBCs attached with microbeads were stretched by dual optical tweezers to generate microdeformation. Morphology of RBCs under manipulation were recorded dynamically and recovered by off-axis digital holographic microscopy method. RBCs treated with H2O2 at different concentrations were measured to investigate the mechanical properties under oxidative stress. Use of optical tweezers and off-axis digital holographic microscopy enhanced measuring accuracy compared with the traditional method. Microdeformation of RBCs is also more consistent with the physiological situation. This proposal is meaningful for clinical applications and basic analysis of Parkinson's disease research.
