The magnetic orientation is a clear magnetic field effect on biological systems. Since most of the biological molecules are composed of diamagnetic elements such as proteins and lipids, they are oriented by the magnetic field as a result of a net diamagnetic anisotropy of the molecule. A considerable magnetic orientation is found in bull sperms, their head parts and paramecium cilia and the order parameter of these materials are evaluated both by the light transmission and the microscopic observation. They are analyzed by the theory of the magnetic orientation with a diamagnetic anisotropy model.
