COMPUTER ASSESSMENT OF MEMBRANESTRUCTURE IN VARIOUS ERYTHROCYTEFORMS

Abstract

The photometric computer image analysis method is described.It is based on the creation of the gallery of the images of variouserythrocyte forms (discocytes, ecchinocytes, target cells and degenerative forms). Using the Bio Vision program, the structureof membranes of each type of erythrocytes was studied. It was found that the morpho-functional changes of erythrocytes of variousdegrees were accompanied by the alterations in the relativecontent of condensed membrane protein-lipid complexes.
