From: Focusing and alignment of erythrocytes in a viscoelastic medium
(a) Holographic image of normal erythrocytes in the rectangular channel flow at Q = 5 μL/min with schematics of the face-on and edge-on orientations of the erythrocytes. (b) Optical image of the erythrocytes in the middle plane of the y-axis at Q = 5 μL/min. Enlarged projection images of the erythrocytes with (c) face-on and (d) edge-on orientations. (e) Schematic of the edge-on orientations of the normal and hardened erythrocytes in the region near the side wall. (f) Variations in tilting angle ϕ of the hardened and normal erythrocytes as a function of Q, 
, and Wi. (g) Variations in distance from the edge on erythrocytes to the side wall as a function of Q, 
, and Wi. Scale bars are 10 μm.
