OF CARDIAC MUSCLE BY SILVIO WEIDMANN* From the Physiological Laboratory,
University of Cambridge (Received 4 June 1951) Microcapillaries with an external tip diameter
of 0 5p. (Ling & Gerard, 1949) can be inserted into single fibres of the cardiac syncytium and
may be used to record resting and action potentials. The technique has so far been applied …
METHOD The method was the same as that described in an earlier paper (Draper & Weidman, 1951). Fig. 1 shows the essential elements of the recording and polarizing circuit.
