  • Abstract
    The design of instrumentation used to measure the bioimpedance of skin or tissue is presented. An inexpensive, component level approach, appropriate for use by researchers rather that commercial applications, is emphasized. The design and implementation process is thoroughly explained and design tradeoffs are discussed with relation to various applications. A validation of the implementation in hardware is presented and an example application to skin impedance topography is considered.
