Luggin capillary

A Luggin capillary (also Luggin probe, Luggin tip, or Luggin-Haber capillary) is a small tube that is used in electrochemistry. The capillary defines a clear sensing point for the reference electrode near the working electrode.^[1][2] This is in contrast to the poorly defined, large reference electrode.^{[clarification needed]}
