This wire probe, one-thirtieth as thick as a human hair, is used at the General Electric Research Laboratory to detect thin films which interrupt electric contacts between metal surfaces. The probe sometimes replaces difficult chemical methods of analyzing tarnishes, oxidation film and finger prints. It also had opened a broad field of study for scientist who wish to find out why certain contacts will conduct electricity at times but later refuse to do so.
