electrode of the third kind
"A metal electrode assembly with the equilibrium potential being a function of the concentration of a cation, other than the cation of the electrode metal, in the solution. These have been used, with limited success, in sensors for metal ions for metals that are not stable in aqueous solutions, e.g., calcium and magnesium. Contrast with electrode of the first kind and electrode of the second kind. "
