Abstract
KROGH'S micro-analysis method as originally described,1 for small bubbles of from 50 to 100 cubic millimetres and containing oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen, is limited to bubbles which have been in contact with a fluid, because the lower cup of the micro-apparatus must be filled with some of the same fluid with which the gas bubble has been in equilibrium, otherwise the gas bubble will lose some gas, particularly carbon dioxide, which is so soluble in most fluids.
