I am working on a project where the precise & accurate measurement of single millinewton forces has become a significant boundary. Is there a cost effective device that is able to measure such small forces?

  • $\begingroup$ Consider to check out the help section, specifically engineering.stackexchange.com/help/on-topic in which it notes that requests to find or recommend products is discouraged. In this case, "cost effective" also becomes a subjective type of question, heading toward opinions, also discouraged. If you can edit your question to focus on a specific engineering reference, you may be more successful. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Look at Cavendish's experiments with torsion wires used to measure gravity. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ 1 millinewton is equivalent to the weight of a toothpick (100 mg). There are plenty of milligram scales available online for $20 or less. Microgram scales start at about 10x that. $\endgroup$
