MEASUREMENT DEVICE SYSTEM FOR CALCULATING VOLUME METHOD FOR CALCULATING VOLUME OF TAIL OF LABORATORY ANIMAL AND PROGRAM FOR CALCULATING VOLUME OF TAIL OF LABORATORY ANIMAL

摘要

A measuring device capable of accurately calculating the tail volume of the experimental animal by continuously measuring the diameter of the tail of the experimental animal (experimental rat) used for the study of lymphedema, a volume calculation system using the measuring device, and an experiment A method for calculating the volume of an animal's tail and a program for calculating the volume of an animal's tail are provided. The measuring device includes a main base on which an object is placed; A first sensor unit disposed on the main base, moving in the longitudinal direction of the object, and sensing the object to generate a first signal; And a second sensor unit that senses the first sensor unit and generates a second signal, wherein the first sensor unit is provided by a load sensor contacting an object, and a load sensor contacting the object of the first sensor unit. An elastic body elastically deformed in the width direction of the object, the first signal is a signal for the width of the object, and the second signal is in a phase where the first sensor unit senses the object based on the longitudinal direction of the object. It is characterized in that it is a signal for.
