Figure 5.5. A combination pH electrode is shown (A). The dark-colored tip is the pH sensing<br />

glass electrode. The reference electrode is not visible. A reference electrode (B) for ISE measurement<br />

along with a nitrate-selective electrode (C) are also shown. Electrode D is used for measuring<br />

salt content in aqueous solutions.
