Category
Published on
Abstract
This learning module introduces you to the microcantilever, its applications in micro and nanotechnologies, its use in sensor arrays, and how it works in both static and dynamic modes of operation. There is a pre and post-test, four (4) informational units (PKs), and two (2) activities. Presentations for three of the informational units are also provided.
