Resumo(s)
The development of optical experimental techniques
has contributed to obtain explanations on the blood flow
behaviour through microvessels. Although the past results have
been valuable, detailed studies on the flow properties of blood in
the microcirculation have been limited by several technical factors
such as poor spatial resolution and difficulty to obtain quantitative
detailed measurements at such small scales. In recent years, due to
advances in computers, optics, and digital image processing techniques,
it has become possible to combine particle tracking methods
with confocal microscopes. As a result, this combination has
greatly increased the resolution of the conventional PIV systems
and consequently provided additional detailed description on the
blood cells motion not obtainable by traditional methods. In this
work, we will show an overview of the most recent results on the
blood flow behaviour in microchannels obtained by state-of-the-art
confocal micro-PIV/PTV system.
