However, since this electrode is made of glass, it has the disadvantage of being easily damaged. Furthermore, since it is difficult to make the thickness of the glass electrode bulb constant, there are variations in K between products. Moreover, if the thickness of the glass film is too thick, the predetermined potential may not correspond to the actual F''l([K).

When the electrodes are miniaturized, the effective area of the ion-sensing portion decreases, and the impedance increases significantly. Therefore, noise easily enters, the response is slow (and a high-impedance amplifier is required, which impairs accuracy (and the device itself becomes expensive).

A potential corresponding to the pH value of the test liquid 16 is generated as shown in FIG. At this time, the entire surface or surface of the pH #1 constant pressure compensation correction electrode 22 substrate l is covered with a transparent coating.
Even if it comes into contact with the test liquid 16, the test liquid 1
With a pH of 6, no sensitive potential is generated. So the pH
When light enters the measuring electrode 21 and the pH measuring correction electrode 22, a photovoltaic force is generated due to the intensity of the light, and a potential is generated, as shown in FIG. Therefore, the potential Et generated between the comparison electrode 17 and the pH measurement electrode 21 becomes Et-Et + Ep. Here, EI is the potential difference between the reference electrode 17 and the pH measurement electrode 21 due to hydrogen ions in the test liquid 16, and Ep is the pf (measurement electrode 21) due to photovoltaic force.

This potential difference EP' is the -difference potential E,
K has approximately the same value. Therefore, as shown in the above equation, by taking the difference between this potential difference Ep' and the potential differences E and l, the desired potential difference E] can be obtained.
