Blood flow in the microvasculature of the conjunctiva of man.
Cinephotomicrography of capillary blood flow in conjunctival vessels of man were carried out at 116 pictures per second. Red cells did not move in streamlines but rather in a heterogenous mixing type of flow. Flow in vessels of patients whose red cells were grossly aggregated was very slow and often stagnant.
