| | |   Platinum electrode. This glass loop contains two platinum electrodes a fixed distance apart.  Dipped into a liquid it can be used to measure the conductivity of the liquid, thus indirectly measuring the concentration of something, salt for example, in the solution.  Platinum is a good material for such electrodes because it does not corrode even under very strong chemical attack.
