title: Thick slurry bevelling: a new technique for bevelling extremely fine microelectrodes and micropipettes.
abstract: A simple, inexpensive and rapid bevelling method is described. A settled slurry of 0.05 micrometer alumina powder in saline is used as the grinding surface. The bevelling process is continuous and reproducible over a wide range of electrode resistances.
