The lecture notes consist of two separate volumes, one concerning instrumentation in use for experimental physiology and one concerning equipment for clinical physiology. Volume I focuses on electrophysiology and concerns unipolar amplifiers connected to different types of microelectrodes as well as stimulators.
Special attention is paid to the electrochemical background of electrode potentials and impedances.
This volume ends with voltage clamp measurements. The volume concerning clinical physiology treats the behaviour of surface electrodes and differential amplifiers as in use in daily hospital practice, in relation to the theory as given in volume I. Other equipment is grouped around hospital divisions like cardiology, lung function, clinical chemistry and neurophysiology. Special attention is paid to the various applied transducers and biosensors.
