Summary Blond coagulation has been studied by means of viscometric techniques. Clots obtained have been examined with the light‐ and the electron‐microscope. The degree of platelet aggregation in these clots has been found to be a function of the rate of shear produced in the cone‐in‐conc viscometer. At high rates of shear, morphology obtained resembles that of in vivo thrombosis. The process of blood coagulation was found to be accelerated at higher velocity gradients.
