摘要

The device comprises a liquid (13) placed in a container (10). The liquid (13) has a configuration that depends on the mass of a body external to the device. The device further comprises a detector assembly (6) for monitoring the configuration. The detector assembly (6) can e.g. comprise a light source (16), whose light is diffracted by a surface (15) of the liquid (13).
