A method for bevelling of microelectrodes by means of vibration.
A technique for the rapid bevelling of glass and metallic microelectrodes is described. The method utilizes end friction of the electrode tips on the fine-grained surface of a quartz plate vibrating at the mechanical resonance frequency of the system. A electromagnetic vibrator is supplied with alternating current at a frequency equal to the mechanical resonance frequency of the system (200-300 s-1).
