Russian term or phrase: датчик
При измерении внутриглазного давления стерильный калиброванный датчик (измерительная призма) будет соприкасаться с роговицей...

I realize we are talking about a tonometer, but what is датчик—literally?

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks, Boris! This is precisely what I need, as I am working on a BCTR and there is no mention of the tonometer proper.

agree  Igor_2006: "tonometer sensor" - 840, "tonometer probe" - 2 280
1 hr

neutral  boostrer: "intraocular pressure sensor" 85000; "intraocular pressure probe" 6 \\ Both the first 25 pages of sensor and the one page of probe stay solid. Use quotation marks.

  -> We discussed a tonometer probe anyway. I simply pointed out your misuse of google to show 85k hits that are not there. I wasn't suggesting "intraocular pressure probe" anyway... As for transducer, I have seen it used mostly in aircraft.

agree  Ekaterina Chashnikova

neutral  rns: "датчик (измерительная призма)" hints "sensor" // Well, on the face of it I was all for "probe", esp. in the case of "tonometer probe" until text-searching for "sensor" and "probe", without the quotes :) in the Wikipedia article you've cited.

  -> thanks, rns. your insight is always valuable. I go by the ear in this case
