title: [A method for repairing the tip of tungsten-in-glass microelectrode].
abstract: When glass insulating tungsten microelectrodes are made, the insulating glass is usually drawn apart at an earlier than desired moment leaving a longer uninsulated metallic tip. A simple method for removing the excessively protruded part of the tungsten tip and triming it to any desirable length and shape is described.
