The short working distance of compound microscope lenses in many cases prevents microelectrode penetrations of cells perpendicular to the cell surface. Bending electrodes very near their tips removes this constraint. A method is described for bending glass microelectrodes with a hot filament while their tips are immersed in a water drop. Immersion protects the fine electrode tips from the heat and provides control over the angle through which the electrodes are bent.
