Whether atomic force microscopy might be used for the quantitative assessment of platelet morphofunctional activity was studied. The details of the structure of their surface were found to be better detectable when the platelets were fixed with methanol. The authors show it possible to use atomic force microscopy in the studies of platelet functional activity on the donor platelet concentrate specimens.
