This lecture covers the basics of force detection, including transducers, amplifiers, and data storage. It also compares the effectiveness of flexural beam and elongational beam structures for force detection. The instructor discusses the minimum detectable force and presents mathematical models for force detection using lump element models and clamped-clamped beam structures. Additionally, the lecture explores the impact of gravity on different devices used for force detection, such as microcantilevers and nanocantilevers.
