Is it possible to be able to physically see blue blood with a high frame per second camera? Let say you set up a high frame per second camera and cut a guy's arm in half with a catana. Could you be able to see the blue blood before it turns red when it hits the air????

I imagine you could if blood was actually blue. But guess what, blood really isn't blue which turns red when it hits oxygen. That's a myth.
Blood is described as dark red (venous) or bright red (arterial). Our veins look blue because we are looking at them *through* our skin. The blood inside them is dark red and it doesn't reflect light very well. The blood you see when you get hurt is usually venous blood. Arterial blood comes out in spurts. It spurts every time the heart beats. I hope you never see that.

yes cut a rich person, their blood is blue... ha ha. no that's a joke.
look at someone's veins, they are blue.
no, seriously, i do arterial punctures and abg's, when the blood is venous it looks purple, not blue, but it is possible to tell the difference from arterial and venous blood by looking at it.

It's spelled 'katana'. Try it on yourself, and let us know.
