Piezoceramic Sensors and Actuators
ByActive ceramic components like piezoceramic sensors and actuators are often used in medical technology, for example in micropumps, ultrasonic emitters, microdos-ing valves and for laser beam steering in ophthalmol-ogy, dermatology and even cosmetology. For imaging applications, piezoelectric drives exhibit substantial inherent advantages over conventional drive technologies in procedures ranging from 3-D scanning to magnetic resonance tomography.
