Abstract :
Using a hydraulic micromanipulator, the authors have developed a new instrument to pilot precisely the displacement of a patch-electrode via a PC. The aim of this instrument is to measure the changes of the height of a single cell in culture using the same equipment as for the patch-clamp technique
