1. Impedance measuring apparatus for measuring first and second electrical impedances, comprising:

  • current source means for producing an alternating current of constant magnitude;

    first and second voltage detector means for measuring voltages;

    first electrode pair means attached to said current source means and adapted to be connected between the first and second electrical impedances;

    second electrode pair means electrically connected together and adapted to be connected between said first and second electrical impedances to complete an electrical circuit comprising said current source means connected to the series combination of said first and second electrical impedances;

    third electrode pair means connected to the first voltage detector means and adapted to be connected across the first electrical impedance for measuring the voltage thereacross in response to said alternating current of said current source means;

    fourth electrode pair means connected to the second voltage detector means and adapted to be connected across said second electrical impedance for measuring the voltage thereacross in response to said alternating current of said current source;

    computer means connected to said first and second voltage detector means for computing the ratios of changes in the electrical impedance of said first and second electrical impedances to the steady-state value thereof, respectively; and

    display means for displaying said ratios computed by said computer means.
