The ac field patterns about living cells.
The presence of the small ac electric fields produced by living cells is shown by the gentle dielectrophoretic force on tiny dielectric particles. The beauty of the field patterns is made evident as the cell and particles settle in a hanging drop. Patterns characteristic of repulsion and of attraction, as well as of a dipolar and quadripolar nature, are observable.
