- Several illustrations are provided by magnified versions. They may be viewed by clicking the original illustration.
- Most of the illustrations are in full colour.
- The following colour code is used in the illustrations:
- coordinate axis, symmetry axis, zero-sensitivity line
- electric current dipole, impressed current source vector
- magnetic dipole
- lead vector, lead field of electric and magnetic leads, distribution of stimulating current
- reciprocal magnetic field, field lines or flux tubes
