Abstract
Polarographic oxygen measurements on moving organ surfaces can disturb free blood circulation due to the weight of the sensor directly coupled to the organ. It has been proposed to compensate the weight of the sensor, e.g. by a balancing mechanism, but such a compensation does not work any more with movements in the range of higher frequency, e.g. on the beating guinea-pig heart with a frequency of 4–5 Hz.
