✦ Synopsis

Diamagnetic orientation of blood cells has been investigated in static high magnetic fields. The anisotropic diamagnetic susceptibility AX of erythrocytes and blood platelets are determined. Ax of blood platelets is 1.5 times larger than that of erythrocytes. The contribution of microtubules to the Ax of platelets is also discussed.
