FIGURE 3. Diagram of the yield spectrum, or dielectrophoretic collection rate onto a wire-wire electrode of various cells as affected by the frequency of the applied field. The ordinate as shown is given in relative values as the average length of the pearl chains of cells gathered onto the wire after a definite period (say, 2 min) of field at a given maximum value. 

FIGURE 6. Diagram of the yield spectrum or dielectrophoretic collection rate for the alga, Chlorella vulgaris, stained (lower curve) and unstained cells (upper curve) compared. 

FIGURE 7. The average dielectrophoretic collection rate at 1.0 MHz of various types of canine (beagle) thrombocytes relative to that of normal thrombocytes as a function of sample age, showing the effect of various types of hemophilic cells.
