Images captured on the Linkam-Cambridge Shear
System.
These images were captured on the Linkam CSS450 using whole blood of
40% haematocrit. They demonstrate the various structures that can be
induced into the blood system under different flow conditions, and
also high-light the dynamic processes involved. The ability to obtain
such high quality and in-depth images of blood under shear conditions
is proving essential to the understanding of its complex rheology.
All samples were subject to a high pre-shear protocol before being
subject to the stated shear conditions.
