title: [Picture series table for marker classification of the structure of erythrocyte marginal bands on specially prepared blood smears].
abstract: A phase-contrast microscopic procedure of evaluation, measurement and classification which can be simply performed on erythrocyte marginal zones (ERZ) of particularly prepared and coloured smears is described. Classification is made with the help of a classification table and a picture series table after measuring the erythrocyte marginal zones with an ocular measuring plate or with a measuring screw ocular respectively. The same preparing and colouring technique also enables erythrocyte marginal zones to be evaluated with an automatic picture analysis and with the scanning electron microscope. With the help of this technique, which can be applied in human erythrocytes as well as in those of dogs, rats and fish, changes of erythrocyte margin zones which may be caused by haematological, immunological and toxicological processes may be determined in quantity. The mode of action of this preparation technique is dealt with in the discussion.
