Title: Ion Selective Electrodes
Post by: CopperSmurf on June 16, 2020, 08:48:54 PM

Is a ion selective electrode just a voltmeter with two electrodes where one of the electrodes has a super fancy membrane?

That would be the whole meter. Ion selective electrode is just this part with "a super fancy membrane" (not that this generalization makes much sense).
