| Abstract | In their extensive circulation through the cardiovascular circuit, erythrocytes are forced to transform and assume different shapes depending on the varying flow conditions in different blood vessels. The present work aims to visualize various erythrocyte shape transformations by an in vitro microcirculatory model, and to visualize multi-shape erythrocyte deformability. The model used an in-house fabricated and inexpensive disposable micro flow channel to mimic certain in vivo conditions, and a fast frame rate video microscopic system to visualize the shape changes in erythrocytes. Results have shown the multi-shape transformation of erythrocytes as resting discoidal shape, asymmetrically deformed ‘hat’ and ‘bullet-like’ shapes, and axially deformed ‘slipper- and spindle-like’ shapes. Specific erythrocytes demonstrated shape transition and transformation while passing through the observed window. The obtained erythrocyte shaper were thoroughly analyzed based on the deformability index. Findings from the image processing techniques were significant (P<0.001) for the different shapes compared with the resting shape. The simple glass in-house fabricated microfludic channel allowed for multi-shape erythrocyte deformability characterization, many of which manifest in human circulation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
