Description: This paper proposes, analyzes, and demonstrates a method to characterize fluids by monitoring the rotational dynamics of 2.5- μ m-diameter magnetic microdiscs in suspension via optical interrogation. The free-floating discs function like synchronized micro-shutters when actuated by an external magnetic field. Their motion is monitored via light transmission in response to a rotating magnetic field. The disc rotation is found, both theoretically and experimentally, to depend on the amplitude and the rotation frequency of the applied magnetic field with a high sensitivity to fluid viscosity changes from 1 to 2 mPa s, independent of the disc concentration in the solution from 20 to 120 M/ml. Consequently, the discs can function as microsensors via simple optical measurements.
