Abstract
1. Membrane current was derived from simultaneous measurements of interstitial `dark' voltages and conductivities along the radial axis of frog photoreceptor cells. Membrane current was subsequently resolved into its component ionic currents or fluxes by means of ionic substitution and by the use of inhibitors of active transport.Keywords
