12704A Resistivity Chamber Operation Manual
2.2  Electrode Section 
12. Opposed Electrode 
Connects with the HI of the V SOURCE terminal in volume resistivity measurement to 
become a high-voltage application electrode. Voltage is applied between the main electrode 
and this electrode. 
Place a sample to cover the ring electrode, and put the opposed electrode over it. 
Pass the feed terminal through the two holes on the opposed electrode, and press the op-
posed electrode down to the end to stick fast to the sample. It floats a few mm by the main 
electrode spring. However, it is pressed down by closing the cover, so that each electrode 
and the sample stick fast to each other.

The opposed electrode is just inserted but not locked. It may fall by opening the cov-
er. Do not turn the 12704A upside down with the cover opened.
