<p>A probe for position determining apparatus has a probe body (18) and a workpiece-contacting stylus (14). A strain sensitive structure connects the probe body and the stylus, and includes bendable members (32). The bendable members have an asymmetric cross-section, e.g. "T" shaped. A strain gauge (33) is mounted to the stem of the "T" to detect the bending caused when the stylus contacts a workpiece. This enables the strain sensitive structure to be both robust and sensitive to the bending.</p>
