Abstract
An account is given of a portable A.C. bridge operating at 1 kc/s, 10 kc/s and 1 Mc/s, and capable of measuring impedances in terms of resistance and capacitance in parallel. It can be used for diagnosing whether tissues are alive or dead or injured, for conductivity measurements, and for the determination of soil moisture in terms of both resistance and capacitance. A knowledge of radio practice is essential for constructing the instrument, though previous experience is unnecessary for operating it.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
