Mounting plate (holding bar or dovetail available on request)

The electrode filled with electrolyte is inserted into an electrode holder (optional) that fits into
the  BNC  connector  of  the  headstage  or  into  an  electrode  holder  adapter.  The  electrical
connection  between  the  electrolyte  and  the  headstage  is  established  using  a  carefully
chlorinated silver wire. Chlorinating of the silver wire is very important since contact of silver
to  the  electrolyte  leads  to  electrochemical  potentials  causing  varying  offset  potentials  at  the
electrode,  deterioration  of  the  voltage  measurement  etc.  (for  details  see  Kettenmann  and
Grantyn  (1992)).  An  automated  chlorinating  apparatus  (ACl-01)  is  available  from  npi  for
optimal chlorinating of sliver wires (please contact npi for details).
Ground  provides  system  ground  and  is  linked  to  the  bath  via  an  agar-bridge  or  a  Ag-AgCl
pellet. The headstage is attached to the amplifier with the headstage cable (see Figure 6) and
an 8-pole connector. The headstage is mounted to a insulated mounting plate that fits to most
micromanipulators. A holding bar or dovetail is available on request.

Note: The shield of the BNC connector is linked to the driven shield output and must not be
connected to ground. The headstage enclosure is grounded.

Caution:  Please  always  adhere  to  the  appropriate  safety  precautions  (see  chapter  1).  Please
turn  power  off  when  connecting  or  disconnecting  the  headstage  from  the  HEADSTAGE
connector!
