DEVELOPMENT OF EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE

Measuring conditions.

It is necessary to provide implementation of the three main measuring conditions:

  1. Maximal informativeness of the research object, or, in other words, establishing conditions for the maximal influence of the object's parameters upon the gas discharge characteristic.
  2. Minimal influence of the measuring process upon the object's vital activity character, i.e. minimal perturbation action of the gas discharge elementary processes - electron-ion attack, ultraviolet radiation, molecular oxygen and ozone. According to the general quantum-mechanical principles, any measuring process exerts influence on the object's condition, therefore in all cases whatsoever it is advisable to reduce this influence to the minimum.
  3. Convenience of the experiments implementation, ergonomy of the sensors used, perfect working security both for the patient and for the operator.

Parameters used for the "GDV"-type devices are selected depending on the conditions stated above. They are sorted out as a result of a long theoretical and experimental research.

The device for the investigation of gas-discharge characteristics.

Developing devices for the investigation of gas-discharge characteristics of various object, the main requirements were taken into consideration as follows:

  • High stability of the voltage parameters;
  • Selection of the optimal discharge forming parameters for several objects;
  • Maximal data informativeness under minimal influence upon the investigated object;
  • The reveal of connection between the parameters registered and the properties of the object investigated;
  • Convenience of the metrological characteristics registration, standardisation and control possibility;
  • Working convenience, security, ergonomy, and minimal number of disturbances.

According to the facts stated above, under the discharge development the subject under study is included in the discharge electric current circuit, and along the surface of dielectric, covering one of the electrons, a longitudinal component of high-intensity electric field is created. The gas discharge developing in the voltage impulse serves as a kind of intensifier of ultra-weak emission processes taking place on the object's surface, and, at the same time, the surface distribution of the discharge channels depends upon the typography of the object's electro-physical characteristics.

Thus, the gas-discharge image represents a complex two-dimensional figure, which geometrical parameters bear the information on the object's characteristics. To include such data in the structure of the complex biophysical experiment the quantitative processing of the images received is necessary.
Description of the automated complex of images processing on the basis of computer, as well as of the device for the liquid-phase objects investigation, is stated in Appendix 3.
