Rheometry: from Couette to Laser Tweezers
 
This presentation will review the development of rheometry from its historical roots to our current instruments and speculate a bit on its future. I will start with the origins of early rotational rheometers; Couette's was not the first! I will trace their evolution from using manometers and mirrors reflected onto meter sticks to computer aided analysis and control. My own efforts in this adventure will receive disproportionate emphasis. I will identify some current challenges and suggest possible future directions.
