Figure B1.

(a) Simulated time evolution of the maximum ΔTMV induced in a spherical cell and in two ellipsoidal cells when these are subjected to an electric field pulse of 100 V/cm and 100 μs. The two ellipsoidal cells have two equal semi-axes and the other semi-axis has a length 20 times and 5 times the length of those axes respectively (R₂=20R₁ and R₂=5R₁). The volume and the dielectric properties were the same in the three geometries (See table B.1). (b) Simulated maximum ΔTMV in a spherical cell and in an ellipsoidal cell with R₂=20R₁ when a burst of bipolar pulses with a delay of 2 μs and an amplitude 100 V/cm is applied, for different pulse lengths.
