title: A simple method for glass insulating tungsten microelectrodes.
abstract: A method for insulating tungsten wires with glass by collapsing a glass capillary tube around the wire is described. A common laboratory electrode puller can be used. A new method for removing the glass from the tip using hydrofluoric acid is also described.
