Body Presence in Scientific Practice: A Case Study of Micro-Liquid Pipetting

科学实践中的身体在场—以微量液体移取为例

Abstract

In the process of scientific practice, the body never leaves the field. By analyzing the development process of microfluidic transfer technology, we can see that whether it is in the past relying on tacit skills for manual experiments, or in the present with precision instruments to assist operations, or in the future when automated equipment is popularized in practice, the body will always be play an important role. Embodied analysis from the perspective of phenomenology will reveal the mystery of the phenomenological body hidden in scientific practice. This helps us to better understand body schemas and tacit skills, intentional arcs and automatic adjustment of the body, and body perception that condenses vitality. In order to better stimulate the practical power of the silent body, and achieve mutual development with increasingly intelligent equipment.
