TRANSDUCERS
This block deals with biomedical sensors and transducers.
The classification criterion that has been used in this course for the sensors and the transducers is based on their physical operation principle. Resistive, optical or photoelectrical sensors and transducers, used in the temperature data and optical signals acquisition, are studied in this board.
This board does not substitute the medical device under study. The results of the experiments have no medical value. They are just for demonstration purposes.
