Fig.3

FEM model of biological tissue for computation of impedance sensitivity. Four 1 mm dia cylindrical electrodes with edge to edge separation of 1 mm (centre to centre separation: 2 mm) are placed centrally on a surface of a cubic volume conductor with 50 mm sides. The green layer of thickness 300 μm represents an epithelial layer. A zoomed view of the electrodes is shown at the bottom.
