The viscometer used for low viscosity dilute 3He in 4He liquid samples consisted of a 0,84 mm diameter epoxy rod glued to the center of a 36.7 μm diameter manganin wire. The overall height was 8 mm with a distance of 6 mm between the two legs. This design was sufficiently large that the wire interacts hydrodynamically with the quasiparticle gas down to 1 mK.
