Vierordt, Karl von(born July 1, 1818, Lahr, Baden—died Nov. 22, 1884, Tübingen, Ger.) German physician. He started a medical practice in 1842 and began teaching at the University of Tübingen in 1849. He discovered a way to make an exact red-blood-cell count (see blood analysis) and invented the sphygmograph, the first instrument to produce a pulse tracing, and the hemotachometer, which monitors blood flow velocity.
