https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean%20corpuscular%20hemoglobin | The mean corpuscular hemoglobin, or "mean cell hemoglobin" (MCH), is the average mass of hemoglobin (Hb) per red blood cell (RBC) in a sample of blood. It is reported as part of a standard complete blood count. MCH value is diminished in hypochromic anemias.
It is calculated by dividing the total mass of hemoglobin by... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean%20corpuscular%20volume | The mean corpuscular volume, or mean cell volume (MCV), is a measure of the average volume of a red blood corpuscle (or red blood cell). The measure is obtained by multiplying a volume of blood by the proportion of blood that is cellular (the hematocrit), and dividing that product by the number of erythrocytes (red blo... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red%20blood%20cell%20distribution%20width | Red blood cell distribution width (RDW), as well as various types thereof (RDW-CV or RCDW and RDW-SD), is a measure of the range of variation of red blood cell (RBC) volume that is reported as part of a standard complete blood count.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpixel%20rendering | Subpixel rendering is used to increase the apparent resolution of a computer's display. It takes advantage of the fact that each pixel on a color liquid-crystal display (LCD) or similar is composed of individual red, green, and blue components — subpixels — with different locations, so that the color also causes the im... |
