Fig. 1. Schematic representation of the set-up for the measurement of the
transepithelial voltage with a semi-open preparation of stomach segments of
larval mosquitoes. The luminal perfusion (PL) is achieved
by connection of the perfusion pipette to a push-pull multi-speed syringe
pump. The direction of the perfusion can be changed by connection to the
infusion syringe or the withdrawal syringe. Bath perfusion
(PB) is by gravity flow from interchangeable reservoirs
with oxygenated salines. The transepithelial voltage is measured with calomel
electrodes connected to the pipette (VL) and the bath
(VB) by agar bridges. D, drainage.
