Problems associated with changes in the shape and size of red blood cells in patients with atherosclerosis are considered. The applicability of physical optics techniques (in particular, holography) for the examination of red blood cells is discussed. An interferographic technique for analyzing the shape of red blood cells and estimating quantitatively their cross section and size is suggested. Experimental data on the comparative characteristics of red blood cells in normal and pathological states are presented.
