摘要
We report on the development and characterization of a device aimed at measuring macroscopic forces in the micrometre range. The apparatus is designed to detect Casimir forces in a parallel plane configuration and to search for Yukawa-like extra-gravitational forces in the submillimetre range. The sensitivity limits for the detection of both forces are also discussed.
