Micro-Measurements

For these reasons, the plastic tip, or the siliconed glass tip have been used for micro measurements. With a plastic tip, there is no limit to the size of the specimen which may be sanq>led. For example, it is possible to sample amounts of the order of nanoliters, provided one resorted to a micromanipulator. While the clinical chemist has not availed himself generally of this technique, the physiologist, has for many years, been measuring samples from within a single cell, or from perhaps, a renal tubule, so that the sample can then be subsequently analyzed. It awaits only an intelligent manufacturer to adapt the micromanipulator as a routine tool in the Pediatric...

Methods for micro-measurement of surface areas include the Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET) method (2), which relies on the adsorption of monolayers of gas, commonly nitrogen or argon, the adsorption of organic molecules such as ethylene glycol and ethylene glycol monoethyl ether (EGME) (10). and the use of infrared internal reflectance spectroscopy (11) which characterizes bonding of sorbed water. These last two techniques have been confined principally to surface areas of clay minerals. 

For tests of thermal zeroshift (apparent strain) vs. temperature, WK-XX-125 AD-350 strain gauges having compensations (XX) of 6, 9, 13, and 15 ppm/ F were mounted on each of the following materials 316 stainless steel (ss), 21-6-9 ss, OFHC Cu, an NbaSn multifilament conductor, and an NbTi multifilament conductor. On the back of each sample, a Micro-Measurements, Inc., CLTS temperature sensor was also mounted. 

The tester model designed in this work is similar to a standard gear double flank tester but with the peculiarity of the need to adapt the tester to a micro measurement range (Table 4) and the high equipment resolution required. This fact will imply the selection of high precision components and the specific design of the mechanical fixations for the micro gear to be inspected.

In this subsection, a performance comparison between an SEC and an off-the-shelf RSG is presented. Additional details on this comparison can be found in Reference (Laflamme et al. 2013a). The test setup consists of a three-point load setup on a simply supported aluminum beam of support-to-support dimensions 406.4 X 101.6 X 6.35 mm (16 x 4 x 0.25 in ). A SEC and a RSG (Vishay Micro-Measurements, CEA-06-500UW-120, resolution of 1 ixe) are installed centered onto the bottom surface of the beam. The setup is similar to Fig. 8, except with one sensor of each type, centered. Both sensors are installed following a similar procedure. The monitored surface is sanded, painted with a primer, and a thin layer...
