Abstract
A photometric trigger method of measuring the velocity of red blood cells, by means of which the linear velocity and the cell flow in microvessels can be measured for a long period of time, is described. The use of a pulse counter to time the intervals at which the red cells pass enables the signals of the measuring trigger to be transformed directly into a digital code. The results of trials of the apparatus on microvessels of the frog mesentery are described.
