Abstract

Microprobes in various designs are provided including microprobes having a bulk base and a thin probe extending from the bulk base and a Wheatstone-bridge sensor circuit for measuring strain in the thin probe, and microprobes with two thin probes extending from the bulk base with their respective integrated Wheatstone-bridges to eliminate common mode forces experienced by the two thin probes.
