Abstract
Abstract A length longitudinal piezo-electric resonator having a vibrational section (1,2) and a frame section (3, 3a, 4, 7) surrounding the vibrational section (1,2) characterised in that the vibrational section (1,2) has an oscillating frequency in the range of 1.04 MHz to 1.06 MHz; the frame section (3, 3a, 4, 7) has an overall length (L) of 4000 microns ± 200 microns; and there are means (5, 6) for maintaining a transverse distance (D) between the vibrational section (1,2) and the frame section (3, 3a, 4, 7) in the range of 50 microns to 140 microns.
