## Abstract Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) constitute a novel power generation technology that converts organic waste to electrical energy using microbially catalyzed electrochemical reactions. Since the power output of MFCs changes considerably with varying operating conditions, the online optimizati

β¦ Synopsis
A novel, on-line method of accurately parametrizing the shape of spreading cells is described. The substrate on which the cells are deposited serves as an optical waveguide. The method is based on the interaction between the evanescent part of the guided waves and the cells. No special labelling of the cells is required. A mathematical framework for interpreting the results is derived, and some illustrative results are presented.
