Career Guidance Knowledge engineering, manufacturing and construction K071 - engineering and engineering trades K0713 - electricity and energy Microsensors
Description
Devices with a size smaller than 1 mm that can convert a non-electric signal, such as temperature, into an electrical signal. Because of their size, microsensors offer better accuracy, range, and sensitivity compared to larger sensors.
