What is a microforce?

To give you an idea, here is what the forces measured by our 6 sensors represent.

🦟 20 µN The weight of a mosquito
🍚 200 µN The weight of a grain of rice
🐝 2 mN The weight of a bumblebee
🪶 20 mN The weight of a feather
🍒 200 mN The weight of a cherry
🍎 2 N The weight of an apple

Each sensor covers one decade of force. The full range spans 5 orders of magnitude.
