Abstract :
Summary form only given. We have developed a micro-thermocouple probe in order to measure cellular thermal responses. A micropipette with a tip 1 μm in diameter was used for the base, of the probe. A Pt/Au junction was constructed on the tip. The average thermoelectric power of the probe was 2.1 μV/K.
