Abstract

Since the pioneering experiments of Yeh and Cummins1 laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV) has developed into a mature subject which has been well reviewed.2 No attempt will be made to cover this field fully but attention will be focussed upon the particular problems which are posed by biological flows. LDV has largely been developed in the context of fast, turbulent flows of gases which are tenuously populated by small particles from a more or less homogeneous population. In the biological situation however, we are likely to be confronted with slow laminar flows of dense fluids incorporating particles ranging from macromolecules to organelles. Each difference leads to differences in the implementation of LDV or the interpretation of the observed data.
