Abstract
The development of extensive research using microelectrodes has produced a literature containing many details which serve as guidelines for successful experimentation. Experimental issues important in working with microelectrodes are fabrication, testing of the resulting electrodes, measurement of small currents, especially in the steady state, and instrumentation for fast experiments (scan rates ≥ 1000 Vs-1 or characteristic times of ≤ 50 μs). Appropriate electrodes and instrumentation are commercially available for types of applications which are routine.
The purpose of this chapter is to summarize a discussion held at the NATO ASI on Microelectrodes which dealt with experimental aspects. This discussion is placed in the context of the literature in this field. It is not intended to be comprehensive or a review.
