About MicroSense

MicroSense has a singular focus on precision measurement.  We provide customers with state-of-the-art measurement performance in our products - precision capacitive sensors for high resolution, non-contact position sensing and vibrating sample magnetometers for magnetic property measurement.  

Non-Contact Linear Capacitive Sensors

MicroSense® non-contact capacitive sensors are ideal for precise, linear position  measurements and linear displacement sensing.

  • Completely non-contact linear position sensor displacement measurement technology
  • Detection of any conductive, grounded target – surface finish has no effect on accuracy
  • Optimized for short measurement ranges – 10 micrometers to 5 millimeters

Vibrating Sample Magnetometer

Our award winning Vibrating Sample Magnetometers are the easiest to use and most sensitive VSMs available.

  • Measure the moment and coercivity of thin films.
  • Study the magnetic properties of liquids, powders or bulk samples.
  • State-of-the-art accuracy in absolute magnetic measurements.
  • Unmatched flexibility - suitable for measuring samples with a very low coercivity as well as samples with high coercivities.
  • Unrivaled real-time field control system, low noise performance - makes measurements possible on samples that can not be measured in other commercial electromagnet based VSMs.
