<p>A device for measuring blood cell deformability comprising, in order to measure the deformability of each of erythrocytes and leukocytes passing through a capillary blood vessel, a TV camera (3) for photographing a blood flow passing through an upstream terrace (25b) being wider than the blood cell diameter and a gate (25a) being narrower than the blood cell diameter, and a computing unit (70) for calculating, from a blood flow image photographed by the TV camera (3), the speed (S) of a blood cell passing through the upstream terrace (25b) or the gate (25a) and the volume (V) of the blood cell passing through the gate (25a), and further calculating the deformability of the blood cell from the blood cell speed (S) and the blood cell volume (V).</p> |
