Abstract

A bio-MEMS device which has been designed to stimulate cells by oscillatory actuation in the vertical direction has been calibrated. The displacement of this device was determined experimentally by a laser interferometer when actuated by a static voltage and by an atomic force microscope when actuated quasi-statically at 0.1 Hz. Both experimental calibrations were compared to a simple model.
