Three-Dimensional Micro Actuator and Sensor System for Dynamic Stimulations and Evaluations of Mechanical Properties of Minute Living Cells

In this study, a new noninvasive sensor system is developed to detect compliance of minute living cells and tissues by using dynamic response of a piezoelectric vibrator. The bending mode of vibration, excited impulsively by piezoelectric ceramics, is utilized in a small clamped-free beam type vibra...
