6.5.1.1. Osmoscan parameters explanation
The following result parameters are given in Results file and printed report:
Parameter Description
# Measurement number
Start time Actual time that was valid after setting a new shear stress and
immediately following the image stabilisation time.
End time Actual time that was valid after the last EI measurement at the given
shear stress was performed.
Time (s) Time, in seconds, since the beginning of the measurement.
Coordinate count Number of coordinates in the iso-intensity curve that describes the
shape of the diffraction pattern.
A (pixels) Vertical axis of ellipse.
B (pixels) Horizontal axis of ellipse.
EI Elongation index
Eof (pixels) Error of fit This parameter represents the average distance (in pixel
units) of the iso-intensity pixels to the best-fit ellipse that resulted. It
reflects how well the iso-intensity coordinates comply with the ellipse
model.
O, (mOsm/kg) Osmolality is a count of the number of particles in a fluid sample,
mOsm/kg means milli-osmole per kilogram
