  • Title: [Development of instrumental and technical measurement aspects for clinical capillary microscopy].
    Author: Gasser P, Dubler B.
    Journal: Z Rheumatol; 1996; 55(4):260-6. PubMed ID: 8967187.
    Abstract:
    Clinically oriented investigation in microcirculation was stimulated by the internist O. Müller. After the second World War new electronic methods were established and later converted into clinical techniques. Therefore it became possible to measure capillary blood cell velocity, dynamic capillary blood pressure and transcapillary diffusion of fluorescent tracers in human skin. For many years vital capillaroscopy has been successfully used to study the microcirculation of human skin capillaries. Capillary video-microscopy at the finger nailfold in connection with local cold exposure test are presented as a method with clinical applicability in vasopastic disease.
