Abstract
The calibers of blood vessels in the mesentary and on the surface of the intestine of laboratory white rats are measured from photographs of the vessels (i) with normal blood stream under normal light and (ii) with sodium fluorescein in the blood stream under ultra violet light. A consistent discrepancy between the two sets of measurements is found. The possible effect of sodium fluorescein on the vessels is investigated.
