The discussion focuses on sourcing a small and affordable galvanometer for measuring small currents. Participants clarify the need for a device capable of detecting microamperes or milliamperes, emphasizing the importance of both size and measurement range. Recommendations include purchasing galvanometers from eBay, with links provided for specific models, including zero center panel meters as alternative options. The conversation highlights the distinction between the physical size of the instrument and the current measurement capabilities required.
