We investigate the sedimentation of colloidal micro-spheres and red blood cells (RBCs) in non-Newtonian fluid - silicone oil with different viscosities. We use digital holographic microscopy (DHM) to obtain volumetric information of the sedimenting micro-objects. Especially, the numerical refocusing feature of DHM is used to extract the depth information of multiple particles moving inside the fluid. The effects of proximity to a flat wall and the non-Newtonian behavior on the sedimenting micro- ...[more]
