Abstract: Apparatus and a method are presented for contactless measurement of charge concentrations and potential differences in biological organisms, with the electrode being spaced from the organism. Relative movement between the organism and the probe results in alteration of the electrostatic field which is measured in an external circuit to determine potential differences in the organism.
