Talk:Single electrode voltage clamp
From Scholarpedia
This very solid article is exceptionally well written by the person who developed and perfected this device.
This article is very well written and contains a wealth of useful information. I have only a few minor comments:
1) Introduction: “… two important applications areas” – should this be “application areas”? 2) Introduction: “… stereotaxically convergent micromanipulator pair” – I suggest adding “prior to penetration” after this. 3) Introduction: “… discussing how this might be achieved” – why not “…discussing how this is achieved” instead, since the technique is well established? 4) Introduction: “… two ways that a voltage clamp can or might be achieved” – I suggest simplifying to “… two ways that a voltage clamp can be achieved”. 5) Introduction: “This technique is called whole-cell patch clamp…” – it was my understanding that “patch clamp” (as opposed to sharp electrode recording) specifies the type of electrode used to contact a cell, but does not necessarily refer to voltage clamping alone, since a patch electrode can also be used in current clamp or dynamic clamp mode. 6) Switching Frequency: “… adequate time allowed for Vms to decay” – ms should be formatted to subscript to be consistent. 7) Clamping the Electrode: This paragraph contains several instances of Vm and Ve and Vms that are not formatted with subscripts.
