Abstract
This text recalls the main sequences of a videofilm in which we have looked at the blood flow through small diameter tubes, varying from 200 to 500 μm diameter, using a video equipment where the camera is fixed to a phase contrast microscope. Flows of two fluid model through converging-diverging small tubes have been studied both theoretically and experimentally, where we have considered the influence of tube diameter, stenosis, flow rate, haematocrit upon the red blood cells repartitions and the thickness of peripheral plasma layer.
