Fiber microelectrodes for electrophysiological recordings.

H J Reitboeck

    Journal of Neuroscience Methods
    |July 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    New fiber microelectrodes made from tungsten-glass and platinum-rhodium-quartz offer minimal tissue damage and stable recordings. These properties are ideal for multielectrode recordings in the central nervous system.
