THE MEASUREMENT OF THE DIAMETER OF ERYTHROCYTES. IV.-THE EFFECT OF ANTICOAGUI, ANTS AND OF VARIATIONS IN DRYING AND FIXING
1 Washington Square College, New York University
1. It is shown that the mean diameter of cells in plasma is the same whether hirudin, heparin, or oxalate is used as an anticoagulant. The mean diameter in serum is the same as in plasma.
2. The statement of several observers that human red cells do not shrink on drying is shown to rest upon a technical error.
3. The mean diameter of dried cells is not altered by variations in the manner of drying, nor by the use of fixatives after drying is complete.
