Abstract :
A new method of voltage clamping of biological membranes is developed. Usually, series resistance (Rs) is inevitably introduced to the membrane and Rs makes it difficult to control the membrane voltage. The purpose of this study is to compensate undesirable effects of Rs, and to develop an improved voltage clamp system.
