Highly Sensitive Measurement of Liquid Density in Air Using Suspended Microcapillary Resonators

We report the use of commercially available glass microcapillaries as micromechanical resonators for real-time monitoring of the mass density of a liquid that flows through the capillary. The vibration of a suspended region of the microcapillary is optically detected by measuring the forward scatter...
