A measuring device for measuring the elastic properties of a surface structure ( ), comprising a probe ( ) arranged within a housing ( ), a transmitter and at least one receiver, the transmitter transmitting acoustic pulses and the receiver picking up the propagation behavior of the acoustic pulses in the surface structure ( ), a control means ( ) for generating acoustic pulses and an evaluating means ( ) for the measuring signals received by the receiver, at least two adjacent measuring tips ( ) being connected as transmitting and receiving elements, the measuring tips being adapted to be set onto the surface structure ( ) and having strip-shaped bi-morph elements ( ) carried by a holder ( ), wherein the measuring tips ( ) are formed by the holders ( ) of the bi-morph elements ( ) and the strip-shaped elements ( ) have one side of one of their ends fastened to the holder ( ).

Measuring device for measuring the elastic properties of a surface structure

Device and method for measuring a three-dimensional surface structure

A device for measuring the elastic and elasticoviscous deformability of skin a measuring probe (1) is provided that exerts pressure on the skin surface (2) in a measuring probe channel (3), a light barrier (4) being disposed in the region of the measuring probe channel (3), the measured length 7 of which light barrier extending transversally to the measuring probe channel (3) in the region of the outlet (5) thereof. The change in light intensity serves as a measure for the deformation of the skin surface.
