Talk:Microbalance

Microbalance, Ultramicrobalance, etc.
The article is too general. There are other names for balances. Look at this possible reference I got from a books.google.com search. Any editors out there more familiar with the subject than me? I owned either a microbalance or semimicrobalance once, too long ago. 5Q5 (talk) 15:47, 22 September 2012 (UTC)  Analytical Instrumentation Handbook - Page 59, Galen Wood Ewing - 1997
