A measuring device with a daisy type cantilever wheel enabling easier
setting of a measuring head and modification head by rotating the daisy
type cantilever wheel, enabling modification, adhesion of a sample, and
application of a force to a sample specimen by using centrifugal force,
and also enabling an easier measurement of a variation of characteristic
vibration frequency and vibration amplitude of a cantilever array is
provided.The measuring device with a daisy type cantilever wheel
comprising a disk-like base plate, a cantilever array with cantilevers,
the longitudinal axes thereof being arranged approximately in the radial
direction of the disk-like base plate, a rotational mean of the disk-like
base plate, the cantilever array being arranged thereon, a positioning
device of the cantilever array, an optical measuring head arranged in a
position corresponding to the cantilever array for measuring the movement
of the cantilever, whereby the variations in the vibration frequency
and/or the vibration amplitude of the cantilevers are successively
detected according to the rotation of the disk-like base plate.
