There is also a composite electrode, in which the glass electrode and reference electrode are integrated into one unit, and the combination electrode, into which all three of the above-mentioned electrodes are integrated into a single unit.
The combination of a glass electrode and reference electrode can be thought of as a battery with high internal resistance. Thus, you cannot measure the difference in potential accurately if you connect it to an ordinary potentiometer (voltmeter) as-is. You need an amplifier with high input impedance. The indicator of the pH meter has such an such amplifier built in, and allows adjustment.
