Progress is described on the advanced stages in design of an instrument for the study of red blood cell aggregation and blood viscosity under near-zero gravity conditions. This paper gives a brief review of the experiment and its background and a description of the design of the instrument intended for space conditions. Summaries are given of solutions to some problems peculiar to a space experiment, particularly blood storage, microscope focusing, experiment control and data acquisition.
