A modification to the method of construction of parallel or "piggy-back" electrodes for extracellular single-unit recording combined with iontophoresis is described that facilitates the alignment of the two components of the array. The method involves the use of an orthogonal viewing device (a pair of mirrors mounted symmetrically at 45 degrees to the horizontal), which produces a pair of virtual images of the electrode components that can be viewed with a microscope. A slight displacement between the electrodes is easily detected as an uneven separation between the electrode images. The positions of the electrode components are adjusted until there is no visible separation of the electrodes or their virtual images.
本文描述了一种对用于细胞外单单元记录并结合离子电渗疗法的平行或“背驮式”电极构建方法的改进,该改进有助于阵列两个组件的对齐。该方法使用了一个正交观察装置(一对对称安装在与水平方向成45度角的镜子),它会产生电极组件的一对虚像,可通过显微镜观察。电极之间的轻微位移很容易被检测为电极图像之间不均匀的间隔。调整电极组件的位置,直到电极或其虚像之间没有可见的间隔。
