Squeezing red blood cells on an optical waveguide to monitor cell deformability during blood storage
Red blood cells squeeze through micro-capillaries as part of blood circulation in the body. The deformability of red blood cells is thus critical for blood circulation. In this work, we report a method to optically squeeze red blood cells using the evanescent field present on top of a planar wavegui...
