1. The theory of electrical conductance of colloidal suspensions has been extended to cover the case of ellipsoids with three axes different.
2. The results have been applied to suspensions of ellipsoidal erythrocytes of birds.
3. It has been shown that fluctuations in electrical resistance of suspensions of erythrocytes after stirring are due to streaming orientation of the cells.
4. The theory has been extended to cover four cases of orientation and tested experimentally in specially designed flow cells by electrical and optical methods.
5. Application of the flow method to the study of the shape of colloidal particles is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
