Abstract
When red cells are incubated in the dark in the presence of the dye Rose Bengal and subsequently irradiated with visible light, they hemolyse. Under certain conditions some of the hemoglobin is expelled in the form of a convective jet and appears as a transient cloud beside the cell. Elastic contraction of the membrane is not a sufficient driving force for the jet. A plausible mechanism (an osmotic “pump”) is presented.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
