Calibration of Microbalances

Balances and scales have been in use for over four thousand years. These instruments have proven invaluable for commercial transactions to determine the weight of a material for sale. Microbalances operate at a very high level of precision. They can display weight readings down to microgram levels or, in the case of quartz crystal microbalances, … Continue reading
