We investigated the effect of a static magnetic field (0.1 T) on vario
us electrical parameters of goat eye lens using a computer-aided AC im
pedance system (EG&G 278) at 30 degrees C. Results of measurements on
voltage-current characteristics showed that the static magnetic field
alters the current flow in the tissue. The complex impedance plane dra
wn between real (Z') and imaginary (Z '') parts in the form of a Cole-
Cole plot demonstrates that under magnetic field, the distribution fac
tor a decreases from 0.3 +/- 0.006 to 0.24 +/- 0.005 and the extracell
ular resistance (Re) increases from 52 +/- 1.3 to 60 +/- 1.5 K ohms in
the lens tissue. An attempt has been made to explain the interactive
behavior of the magnetic field with the electrical changes in the lens
.
