Abstract :
Vibrations generated by the present mechanostimulator covered, with high power, a wide range of amplitudes at frequencies of between 0 and 80 Hz. The frequency and amplitude could be changed independently of each other. The stimulator could also be used as a finely controlled micromanipulator.
