Abstract

The puller is used to prepare microelectrodes suitable for intracellular connection from glass capillars having diameters of 0.5 to 3 mm. The puller has a horizontal arrangement, pulling and heating parameters are adjustable within a wide range, so the electrode shape and tip diameter suitable for diverse requirements are easily realizable. The stability of pulling and heating parameters will result in a high degree of reproducibility of the electrical and geometrical electrode data. Operation of the puller and relations between electronic and mechanical parts are described in detail and shown by figures. A bridge input electrometer amplifier is used for control of the most important electrical parameters of the electrodes prepared.
