I am trying to measure very low forces that are occuring due to slipping and
or friction. Measuresment is going through strain measuresment and for strain
gages I am using an metal based strain gage (factor 2).
The problem is in that the output of the wistone bridge which is used
is in less then 100nV . Could someone give me a hint about this issue?

Thanks Ahead
Andon

Whetstone bridge strain gauge output is typically followed by an
instrumentation amplifier such as Linear Technologies LT1001 which has a
gain of about 100. You can then use a standard opamp to bring it up to a
level your meter or micro can measure. Note that this circuit usually has
so much noise that a low pass filter is often required.
