[A rotational floating viscosimeter for hemorheological studies]

The authors describe a modified Zimm-Krothers viscosimeter fit for hemorheological studies. The device is easy to make; it permits work within the range of shear rates from 1 to 100 sec-1 using but 1.5 ml of blood, plasma, or red cell suspension. The error of a single measurement is under 5 percent.
