Product Specification Sheet
Hair Aesthesiometer
Model Number: MTLS-08
The Hair Aesthesiometer is a laboratory instrument used for studying tactile sensitivity and cutaneous sensory perception through controlled mechanical stimulation. It is commonly used in physiology, psychology and neuroscience practical work where the response to a light touch stimulus needs to be observed and compared. The instrument allows controlled application of a fine hair or filament to the skin, helping researchers and students investigate sensory thresholds at different locations. Its compact arrangement makes it convenient for laboratory demonstrations, practical examinations and experimental studies. Micro Technologies supplies educational and scientific laboratory equipment for academic institutions, research facilities and professional laboratories, with support for standard as well as bulk procurement requirements.
Product Specification
The Hair Aesthesiometer provides a simple experimental method for investigating the perception of light tactile stimuli. It is based on the use of a fine, flexible hair or filament that applies a controlled stimulus to the skin. The resulting sensory response can then be observed and recorded as part of a physiology or sensory-perception experiment.
The instrument is useful for demonstrating how tactile sensitivity can vary across different regions of the body. By applying the stimulus under controlled conditions, students and researchers can compare responses and develop a practical understanding of sensory thresholds. This makes the apparatus valuable for teaching topics related to cutaneous sensation, mechanoreception and peripheral sensory function.
A controlled stimulation arrangement helps maintain consistency between individual trials. The compact construction is also convenient for laboratory handling, storage and repeated practical sessions. The apparatus can be incorporated into demonstrations as well as structured experimental protocols where observations need to be compared systematically.
The Hair Aesthesiometer is appropriate for physiology teaching laboratories, psychology practicals, neuroscience research environments and institutions studying sensory perception. It can complement other sensory-testing instruments used to investigate touch, pressure and two-point discrimination.
Micro Technologies offers laboratory and educational equipment for institutions requiring dependable tools for practical instruction and experimental work. The apparatus can be supplied for individual laboratory requirements, academic projects and bulk institutional procurement.
