Ball-pen probe
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Ball-pen_probe an entity of type: TopicalConcept
A ball-pen probe is a modified Langmuir probe used to measure the plasma potential in magnetized plasmas. The ball-pen probe balances the electron and ion saturation currents, so that its floating potential is equal to the plasma potential. Because electrons have a much smaller gyroradius than ions, a moving ceramic shield can be used to screen off an adjustable part of the electron current from the probe collector.

How does this amount to a "calibration" of the correct length, exactly?

Ball-pen probes are used in plasma physics, notably in tokamaks such as CASTOR, (Czech Academy of Sciences Torus) ASDEX Upgrade, COMPASS, ISTTOK, MAST, TJ-K, RFX, H-1 Heliac, IR-T1, GOLEM as well as low temperature devices as DC cylindrical magnetron in Prague and linear magnetized plasma devices in Nancy and Ljubljana.
