DIELECTRIC-SPECTROSCOPY OF BIOLOGICAL CELLS

In this paper, we describe some applications of dielectric spectroscop y to studies of the internal structure of biological cells, monitoring of cell growth in fermentation and imaging of biological cells, The c omposite cell models proposed for biological cells, including intracel lular organelles, successfully simulate the dielectric behavior of lym phocytes and plant protoplasts, A new electrode-less method based on e lectromagnetic induction has been demonstrated to be a powerful method for the dielectric monitoring of cell growth in whisky and beer ferme ntation, The scanning dielectric microscope is a promising tool for di electric imaging of biological cells.
