We use it to track movement of ions. Prac works well.
I am fortunate we have a factory nearby who have given me a piece of their off-cuts.

Scrap metal places may help

I found it at Westlab (Vic) It is expensive $45 for 30cm square and mesh is quite fine. I would have thought flywire mesh size more suitable. What does Rita use?

Hi Rita
May I have a copy too if it is not too much trouble. We are very short of equipment etc at my school.

if it"s any help we just use two strips of copper(5 to 10mm x 20 to 30 mm) clipped to the sides of a glass petri dish. It smells a bit so we do it near a window as there's not enough room in the fume hood. mtg

I have made my own "mesh" in the past for this one by just weaving some thin uncoated copper wire - worked OK!
