Electrical Penetration Graph





The Circuit


The circuit connects to the insect via a 20mm Gold wire and to the plant via a copper electrode placed in the soil. The circuit also passes through, normally, a one Gohm Resistor and a 50x Amplifier before the results are stored digitally and interpreted by a computer to calculate the final graph.
