Piezo SHOCK Show #56: How can you measure the displacement of an ultrasonic transducer?
Welcome to the Piezo SHOCK Show #56. In this video, I used a webcam microscope to measure the micron level displacement of an ultrasonic dental scaler. The first step is to calibrate the camera, getting a micron/pixel value. Then you can take an image of the ultrasonic motion and analyze the spread of a dot reflection. This spread can be measured to determine the displacement. In the video, I showed a displacement of 40 microns.
