摘要：

A new technique was developed to evaluate geometric irregularities of biofilm surface. Vertical microtome sections of RBC biofilm samples embedded in glycol methacrylate resin were cut in two perpendicular directions and their profiles were examined by light microscopy image analysis. The measured fractal dimensions of the studied RBC biofilm surface were in the broad range from 2.1 to 2.8. The hydrodynamic and mass transfer models for biofilm systems may be greatly improved by inclusion of numerical values characterizing the surfaces involved.
