Micropipette aspiration is a potentially useful and accurate technique to measure red blood cell (RBC) geometry. Individual RBCs are partially aspirated and from the resulting sphere diameter, total cell length, and pipette diameter, membrane area and cell volume can be calculated. In this study we
