How to make microelectrodes

Hi,
I need to make some cheap, durable electrodes for stimulating a rat
midbrain.  We will stimulate while the rat is behaving so glass
electrodes probably won't work).  We'll be applying 100 microamps at
60-100Hz.

We don't want to buy these from a company if we don't have to. 
Besides, after struggling to make our own we'll be in a better
position to appreciate the fine work of an electrode supplier.

Let me know if you have any shematics, manuals, hints, or tips that
you would be willing to share.

thanks,
chris
