ELECTRONIC TRACKING SYSTEM FOR STUDYING THE OSCILLATORY EFFECT IN INSECTS (CLASSIC REPRINT)

Excerpt from Electronic Tracking System for Studying the Oscillatory Effect In InsectsIn developing a method to measure electrostatic charges on the bodies of house flies, I observed a phenomenon that I called the oscillatory effect.2 The response, observed when living insects were suspended on small insulating fibers in a direct current electric field, was a swinging back and forth, apparently in accordance with some biological process. The effect ceased after the insect was ex posed to lethal fumes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
