Abstract
Morphological descriptions of skin capillaries have been used for years in the study of vascular diseases. Only recently, however, a broader application in clinical medicine has been initiated. In addition, a method was developed to study red blood cell (RBC) velocity in human nailfold capillaries (BOLLINGER et al. ). This television microscopy technique allows repeated atraumatic measurements through the intact skin.
