FIGURE 1 Three (top, middle, and bottom rows) go-and-stop experiments performed on the same red cell. Shown are selected frames (each 16.6 µm wide) from a video recording through the rheoscope. The numbers indicate relative times. In the first column, the red cell is shown tank treading in shear flow (flow direction horizontal, shear rate = 10/s). Shearing was done by motor drive of the cone-plate chamber. The second column shows the red cell after the shear flow had stopped. In the last two columns the subsequent transient is shown. The difference between the three experiments, rows respectively, is the location of the latex sphere after stop of flow (top row, right edge; middle row, left edge; bottom row, middle).
