Abstract
SummaryThe apparatus and methods for the precise measurements of small differences in the high frequency conductivity and dielectric effect of the intact egg and samples of the contents of the egg have been described.The relative conductivity and dielectric effect of the intact egg at frequencies of 27.3 and 54.6 megacycles gave results indicating that fresh infertile eggs have a higher conductivity and a tendency towards lower dielectric constant than fertile eggs.In dissected eggs the difference between the fertile and infertile egg in relation to conductivity and dielectric effect was observed to occur principally in the albumen. The conductivity of the albumen of fertile eggs was 7.4% lower than that of infertile eggs.The conductivity values for various parts of the egg were maximum at about 15 megacycles. There was no frequency dependence for the percentage separation between yolk and albumen over the range from 2 to 60 megacycles.
