Dielectric spectroscopy of blood cells suspensions: study on geometrical structure of biological cells.
A promising procedure combining dielectric spectroscopy of red blood cells and an inverse application of an effective medium theory (EMT) has been realized to prove the plausibility to obtain cells morphological information. This theoretical-experimental methodology could be the basis for an accurate and simple tool in diagnosis and research activity, especially when cell morphological alterations are a prime indicator of illness as in all hematopoietic pathologies.
