This paper overviews the methods to quantitatively measure the cell membrane fluctuation (CMF) rate of red blood cells (RBCs) with different storage periods with millisecond temporal sensitivity at the single-cell level by using marker-free holographic imaging techniques. We quantitatively measured fluctuations in the discocyte shape of RBCs membrane, ring and dimple in the case of storage lesion with time-lapse phase images of RBCs. Our experimental results demonstrate that normal RBCs with a discocyte shape become stiffer with storage period and there is a significant negative correlation between CMFs and the sphericity coefficient, which describes the RBCs morphology. Correlation between CMF and projected surface area is also performed.
