Microprocessor-assisted plethysmograph for the measurement of mouse paw volume.
A sensitive and reproducible method of measuring mouse paw volume was developed by interfacing a Mettler DeltaRange top-loading balance with a microcomputer. This methodology combined ease of operation and precision with the advantages of computer-controlled data processing and archivable storage of data.
