摘要
The images of human erythrocytes and vesicles were analyzed by a light microscopy system with spatial resolution of better than 90 nm. The samples were observed in an aqueous environment and required no freezing, dehydration, staining, shadowing, marking, or any other manipulation. Temperature elevation resulted in significant concentration increase of structurally transformed erythrocytes (echinocytes) and vesicles in the blood. The process of vesicle separation from spiculated erythrocytes was video recorded in real time. At a temperature of 37 degrees C, mean vesicle concentrations and diameters were found to be 1.50 +/- 0.35 x 10(6) vesicles per microliter and 0.365 +/- 0.065 m, respectively. The vesicle concentration increased approximately threefold as the temperature increased from 37 to 40 degrees C. It was estimated that 80% of all vesicles found in the blood are smaller than 0.4 m. Accurate account of vesicle numbers and dimensions suggest that 86% of the lost erythrocyte material is lost not by vesiculation but by another, as yet, unknown mechanism. Microsc. Res. Tech. 76:1163-1170, 2013.
