Sometimes we need a non-contact liquid level sensor. There are several ways to build that, but the easiest is to try an optical liquid level sensor. You may already have an idea in mind since you are ...

Here is a design concept for a cheap single point optical liquid sensor that can detect the presence or absence of certain colored liquids inside a transparent tube. It can be tailored to output a ...

The LiQuilaz ® II optical liquid particle counter from Particle Measuring Systems is a volumetric monitor that has been specifically developed with a range of sizing sensitivities as low as 0.2 µm. It ...

Three cheap hygroscopic salt solutions on carbon nanotube sensors distinguish nine toxic gases, including warfare agents, without engineered receptor molecules.
