A Mobile Device for Measuring the Size Distribution of Red Blood Cells

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

A LED-based optical detection circuit and a principle of analysis of diffraction patterns of wet blood smears are proposed. A compact computerized optical device based on the principles of ektacytometry (diffractometry) has been designed to measure the width of the size distribution of red blood cells.
