  • Publication number: 20090168073
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cantilever sensor system and profilers as well as biosensors using the same. The cantilever sensor system comprises: an interferometric lens module; a cantilever module; and an imaging device. The interferometric lens module further comprises: a light source; a light splitting unit; and an interferometric lens; wherein a light beam emitted from the light source is projected to the cantilever module through the light splitting unit and the interferometric lens where it is reflected back to the light splitting unit so as to interfere with the reference light beam from the reference mirror. The imaging device is used for capturing interferograms caused by the interference between the light beam of the light source and the reflected beam thereof.
