Abstract
A microprobe for contact temperature measurements is described. It consists of a silicon cantilever with a Ni thermoresistor deposited at the unfixed end. Heat capacity of the probe and mechanical stress in Si is discussed to gether with contact detection methods between the sensor and a plant tissue sample. A resistance versus temperature curve is presented. (C) 2001 Elsev ier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
