A method for manufacturing long-shanked glass microelectrodes.
A method for manufacturing electrolyte-filled glass microelectrodes with long, non-tapering shanks is described. For this purpose a specially-designed device is used in conjunction with a standard vertical electrode puller. This device acts as a speed controller which maintains a constant speed while pulling the long electrode shank. During the final shaping of the electrode tip the action of the speed controller is bypassed.
