Structure
The difference between a rotating ring-disk electrode and a rotating disk electrode is the addition of a second working electrode in the form of a ring around the central disk of the first working electrode. The two electrodes are separated by a non-conductive barrier and connected to the potentiostat through different leads. To operate such an electrode it is necessary to use a bipotentiostat or some potentiostat capable of controlling a four electrode system. This rotating hydrodynamic electrode motif can be extend to rotating double-ring electrodes and rotating double-ring-disk electrodes and other even more esoteric constructions as suited to a given experiment.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“What is the most rigorous law of our being? Growth. No smallest atom of our moral, mental, or physical structure can stand still a year. It grows—it must grow; nothing can prevent it.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“In the extent and proper structure of the Union, therefore, we behold a republican remedy for the diseases most incident to republican government.”

“If rightly made, a boat would be a sort of amphibious animal, a creature of two elements, related by one half its structure to some swift and shapely fish, and by the other to some strong-winged and graceful bird.”
