Electronic balances

Unlike their mechanical counterparts that are still a valuable asset today; electronic balances allow users the next level of accuracy/precision as well as other benefits such as connectivity, convenience, lightweight, have multiple weight measurement options (Oz, Lb, Kg etc.) at the switch of a button. The real step forward is the precision. Moving away from counterbalance (weight on a seesaw), electronic balances use a wheatstone bridge and measure a change in resistance significantly increasing precision. Alternatively, in high performance models like Analytical, Semi-Micro or Micro balances a force motor measuring with a laser provides users a level of precision not possible with more manual methods of weighing.
