This shielding, inspired by Michael Faraday\u2019s 19th-century discoveries, uses metallic screens to absorb unwanted signals and direct them safely to ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key points about shielding:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Not all probes are equally shielded; design varies by model and intended use<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shielding effectiveness depends on the quality of connections and grounding throughout the system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Even the best shielding can be compromised by poor cable connections, dust, or faulty power outlets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What Can You Do?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you notice noise artifacts:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Check your environment:<\/strong> Are there new devices nearby?
