microsensor
Miniature detection device
A microsensor is an extremely small sensor, typically measuring in micrometers or millimeters, designed to detect and measure physical, chemical, or biological phenomena.
Microsensors are embedded in medical devices, smartphones, industrial equipment, and environmental monitors where space is limited but precision matters: The microsensor detected minute changes in blood glucose levels.
