MEASUREMENTS OF MEMBRANE POTENTIAL IN CELLS GROWING IN TISSUE CULTURE... 

The use of potential-sensitive fluorescent probes to monitor the electrical potential across a cell membrane permits an accurate, noninvasive measurement of membrane potential changes in a wide variety of cells, vesicles, and organelles without the external electrical or mechanical manipulation required by micro-... 

The measurement of membrane potentials is accomplished by use of cells of the type of Eq. (13-150). The measured emf of this system is given by Eq. (13-151). Usually, the assumption is made that = 8 = 0. The error involved in this approximation can be roughly determined by use of the Henderson formula [Eq. (13-119)]. In general, it is found that the sum is small compared... 

Problems with spectroscopic measurements of membrane potentials... 

Thus, by the end of the nineteenth century the electromotive force from high resistance sources could be measured with a relatively high precision. The introduction of the glass membrane electrode for the hydrogen-ion concentration measurement presented a challenge and a test of instrument capabilities. The State of the Art (1905) for the measurement of membrane potentials had been described by Max Cremer in the paper entitled (14.) ...
