Luggin capillary
{{refimprove|date=October 2008}}
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.{{Citation|title=Design of a single-unit Haber-Luggin capillary/dual reference-electrode system|journal=Curr.
