Membrane capacitance measurements revisited: dependence of capacitance value on measurement method in nonisopotential neurons.
During growth or degeneration neuronal surface area can change dramatically. Measurements of membrane protein concentration, as in ion channel or ionic conductance density, are often normalized by membrane capacitance, which is proportional to the surface area, to express changes independently from cell surface variations. Several electrophysiological protocols are used to measure cell capacita...
متن کاملLow Value Capacitance Measurement System with Adjustable Lead Capacitance Compensation
The present paper describes the development of a low cost, highly accurate low capacitance measurement system that can be used over a range of 0 – 400 pF with a resolution of 1 pF. The range of capacitance may be easily altered by a simple resistance or capacitance variation of the measurement circuit. This capacitance measurement system uses quad two-input NAND Schmitt trigger circuit CD4093B ...
متن کاملFrequency Dependence of Capacitance Measurement for Advanced Gate Dielectrics
1. Introduction Capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements are a fundamental characterization technique for MOS devices. However, as the oxide thickness is reduced and gate dielectrics comprised of stacks of novel materials are employed, CV measurement and analysis are made more complex by the frequency-dependence of the measured capacitance. This paper presents an analysis of the sources of the fr...
متن کاملCapacitance Level Measurement Basics
In the four previous parts of this series of articles, level measurement using a floating system, using pressure instruments, using radar waves and using ultrasonic waves were discussed. The instruments offered by Indumart company applicable for each method were also recommended. In the final part of this article, level measurement using capacitance, conductivity probes, vibration forks, therma...
متن کاملCapacitance Level Measurement
A capacitor is formed when a level-sensing electrode is installed in a vessel. The metal rod of the electrode acts as one plate of the capacitor and the tank wall (or reference electrode in a non-metallic vessel) acts as the other plate. As the level of the material being measured rises, the air or gas normally surrounding the electrode is displaced by the material’s different dielectric consta...
