Abstract :
We provide a multi-electrode method for measuring the bulk impedance of botanical tissues and electrode impedance used in the measurement, simultaneously. By stabbing many electrodes in the object along the circumference of the columnar body, the bulk impedance and impedance of electrodes can be measured. The impedance of the botanical body can be estimated when the number of electrodes is infinite. The experimental results applied to Japanese radish showed the usefulness of the proposed method
