Abstract In voltage clamp experiments on myelinated nerve fibres the time resolution of the current measurement is limited by the low-pass characteristics of the internodes. We increased the corner frequency of the current passing internode by grounding one half of this internode externally. Using a simplified equivalent circuit we calculated an increase in the bandwidth of the internode by a factor of about 6. Consequently, the peak value of the recorded capacity current increased while its duration was considerably shortened.
