A new miniaturised probe made of monocrystalline silicon with an integrated piezoresistive measuring bridge combines high sampling rates and low probing force. Robust against different environmental influences, the sensor closes a gap between AFM and a classic stylus
A miniaturized force sensor measures the forces at catheter tips that occur between the guide wire (catheter) and blood vessels during insertion. The KASYS mini-chip, just 200 x 220 x 640 µm in size and thus just twice as wide as a hair, is the heart of a haptic assistance system that will simplify catheterizations in medicine in the future and reduce the risk of injury
