tungsten-pin

Tungsten pin is pin made of the material—tungsten. Since it is made of tungsten, tungsten pin owns the properties of high melting point, high corrosion resistance, tensile strength and low coefficient of thermal expansion. When added steel or other element, its hardability would be improved.

Tungsten needles have much finer tips. They are mainly used for scribing marks on metal surfaces, cutting particles from collodion and for single particle manipulation. Because the tip is rather fragile, it bends or breaks frequently. Many of these needles should be kept on hand since a few may be necessary to complete manipulation of a single particle. Not only are tungsten needles used for particle manipulation, but they can also be used when working with embryos and for glass blowing.
