Abstract:
The mechanical characterization system includes three main parts: A sub-millinewton resolution capacitive force sensor, at least one micromanipulator with position measurement capabilities, and a microscope. The sensitive axis of the force sensor is adjustably connected via adaptor pieces to the micromanipulator at any angular orientation relative to the sample holder.
