Construction and Application of Shielded Silver Electrodes with Mercury Leads Designed for Prolonged Stimulation Experiments.

Abstract

A method for molding powdered lucite is presented in detail. Construction of small rubber tubes by dipping stainless steel wires in liquid latex is described. The apparatus constructed by these methods can be sterilized by boiling. Electrodes as described were functional for as long as 8 months in a concsious animal.
