Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Optics
  • Cellular Imaging
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Current flow-based blood counters are bulky and require extensive training, limiting field applicability.
  • Standard imaging methods lack the nanometer precision needed for accurate red blood cell volume measurement due to diffraction limits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a compact and accurate imaging method for measuring red blood cell (RBC) morphological parameters.
  • To enable field-based blood analysis and widespread anemia screening.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Mie scattering in a custom-built dark-field microscope with oblique illumination.
  • Acquired scattering intensities at three wavelengths per cell using digital image processing.
  • Applied Mie theory and machine learning to determine cell size and hemoglobin content.

Main Results:

  • Accurately determined mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), and red cell distribution width (RDW) in 90 clinical samples.
  • Demonstrated nanometer-scale precision for morphological measurements.

Conclusions:

  • The developed Mie scattering technique provides accurate RBC parameter quantification.
  • This approach holds significant potential for developing cost-effective, field-deployable anemia screening instruments.
