  2. Potentiometric surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potentiometric_surface

    For groundwater "potentiometric surface" is a synonym of "piezometric surface" which is an imaginary surface that defines the level to which water in a confined aquifer would rise were it completely pierced with wells. [1] If the potentiometric surface lies above the ground surface, a flowing artesian well results.

  3. Aquifer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquifer

    [13]: 418 Rainfall and snowmelt enter the groundwater where the aquifer is near the surface. Groundwater flow directions can be determined from potentiometric surface maps of water levels in wells and springs. Aquifer tests and well tests can be used with Darcy's law flow equations to determine the ability of a porous aquifer to convey water.

  4. Electroanalytical methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroanalytical_methods

    In fact, since the potentiometric measurement is a non-destructive measurement, assuming that the electrode is in equilibrium with the solution, we are measuring the solution's potential. Potentiometry usually uses indicator electrodes made selectively sensitive to the ion of interest, such as fluoride in fluoride selective electrodes , so that ...

  5. Potentiometric sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potentiometric_sensor

    Potentiometric solid state gas sensors have been generally classified into three broad groups. Type I sensors have an electrolyte containing mobile ions of the chemical species in the gas phase that it is monitoring. The commercial product, YSZ oxygen sensor, [1] is an example of type I.

  6. Voltage-sensitive dye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage-sensitive_dye

    Voltage-sensitive dyes, also known as potentiometric dyes, are dyes which change their spectral properties in response to voltage changes. [1] They are able to provide linear measurements of firing activity of single neurons , large neuronal populations or activity of myocytes .

  7. pH meter - Wikipedia

    Beckman Model M pH Meter, 1937 [1] Beckman model 72 pH meter, 1960 781 pH/Ion Meter pH meter by Metrohm. A pH meter is a scientific instrument that measures the hydrogen-ion activity in water-based solutions, indicating its acidity or alkalinity expressed as pH. [2]

  8. Light-addressable potentiometric sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-addressable...

    The LAPS has several advantages over other types of chemical sensors. The sensor surface is completely flat, no structures, wiring or passivation are required. At the same time, the "light-addressability" of the LAPS makes it possible to obtain a spatially resolved map of the distribution of the ion concentration in the specimen.

  9. Water table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_table

    The water table is the surface where the water pressure head is equal to the atmospheric pressure (where gauge pressure = 0). It may be visualized as the "surface" of the subsurface materials that are saturated with groundwater in a given vicinity. [2] The groundwater may be from precipitation or from groundwater flowing into the aquifer. In ...
