Insects strain sensors are basically oval holes in the cuticle with a domed bell shaped cap, hence called campaniform sensilla. These organs allow the animal to measure displacements in the plane of the cuticle, and they do it by introducing compliance...

Figure 16.2. Preparation for extracellular recording from campaniform sensory neurons in the adult Drosophila wing. The wing is fastened in place using two greased insect pins. The electrical circuit is made between the hemolymph in wing vein 3 and the two saline wells. Extracellular spikes are recorded through electrodes placed in each weU. The eight structurally similar campaniform sensilla are drawn. Force is supphed to selected sensilla and the extracellular response recorded as diagrammed.
