| Method | Optical microscopy |
| Comments | Optical microscopy measurements showed that nucleus and cytosol contribute 10.35±2.44% (n=48) and 91.99±4.18% (n=48) of the intracellular volume (121.47±1.29 µm^3, n=9), respectively. Electron microscopy of these cells confirmed their characteristic morphology containing only nucleus and cytoplasm, being devoid of other intracellular organelles. (Erythrocytes of vertebrates other than mammals have nucleii). |
