I'd go for pins from the top and a strip at teh bottom. The strip at the
bottom is ground; measure teh conductifity from the two other pins that
are more-or-less inserted in water (or other liquid).
Ever heard of capillary attraction? Surface tension? How about
miniscus? Wetting? All four can pose problems in such a system.
