NOBIS is a completely new concept in sensor technology. The integrated programming platform allows customer-specific solutions to be implemented as quickly as possible. The freely programmable sensor software enables a wide range of applications
The micro silicon probe, manufactured at the CiS Research Institute, with a mass of only a few micrograms, has a high dynamic range. Equipped with a fast digital interface, the tactile probe easily acquires the measured values in a few minutes
At the IVAM product market “High-tech for Medical Devices” the CiS Research Institute shows new results from research and development in the field of medical microsystems technology
CiS has developed a method that allows biocompatibility to be evaluated while the experiment is still in progress. The measuring device contains a sensor with evaluation electronics and records the data by means of impedance spectroscopy. The electrical resistance is proportional to the number of cells on the surface of the culture medium
Students at the Bauhaus University in Weimar were looking at alternative ways of marketing the results of high-tech research. The collaboration between the university and the CiS Research Institute for Microsensors and Photovoltaics came about as part of an interdisciplinary “prototype seminar” held by the Chair of Media Management. The aim of the seminar was to find new, generally comprehensible and attractive ways of accessing the application possibilities of high-tech solutions in need of explanation
The decreasing accommodation ability of the eye with increasing age (presbyopia) can be compensated by visual aids. In case of additional lens opacity (cataract), the removal of the lens and the implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL) are necessary. The new approach to solve this problem pursued in the BMBF-funded project “Akkosys” is a smart microsystem that is implanted in the capsular bag of the eye instead of an intraocular lens
CiS Research Institute leads the development of a micro-fluorescence sensor. In a multi-channel sensor the optical excitation with different light wavelengths and the measurement of transmission and fluorescence signals take place
Thuringia is significantly involved in the discovery of the Higgs elementary particle. Scientists and engineers of the CiS Forschungsinstitut für Mikrosensorik und Photovoltaik GmbH are working in Erfurt on radiation-hard silicon detectors for the international nuclear research elite at CERN (Geneva). The CiS Research Institute is proud to have contributed decisively to the success with its achievements and congratulates the colleagues in Switzerland
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
Technologies from microsystems engineering and microoptics form the basis for the successful miniaturization of a new, interferometric distance measurement system from TETRA GmbH in Ilmenau. The core component, consisting of a Michelsen laser interferometer and an optical silicon detector, was developed by the mechatronics specialist together with the Microoptical Systems Application Center at CiS Research Institute
