Macroelectrodes: For making lesions, ERP recordings, or use in gross stimulation protocols
The larger diameter Macro Electrodes are available in Platinum/Iridium, Eligiloy, and Tungsten.
The Platinum/Iridium models have a shank diameter of 231 µm, and the Tungsten shank diameter is 256 µm.
They have very large tip exposure with tip impedance values between 2.5 to 20 kΩ.
Are excellent for stimulation and making lesions.
Larger tip exposures can be specified for electroporation studies as a custom option.
