  • Title: Measurement of Aggregation of Red Cells in space--a project for the NASA space shuttle.
    Author: Dintenfass L, Osman P, Maguire B.
    Journal: J Electr Electron Eng Aust; 1984 Jun; 4(2):118-25. PubMed ID: 11540609.
    Abstract:
    Progress is described on the advanced stages in design of an instrument for the study of red blood cell aggregation and blood viscosity under near-zero gravity conditions. This paper gives a brief review of the experiment and its background and a description of the design of the instrument intended for space conditions. Summaries are given of solutions to some problems peculiar to a space experiment, particularly blood storage, microscope focusing, experiment control and data acquisition.
