Abstract
The invention relates to a capacitive sensing apparatus for sensing an object, wherein the capacitive sensing apparatus comprises a capacitive sensor (2) for capacitively sensing the object (3) and an enclosure (4) for enclosing the capacitive sensor (2). The enclosure (4) comprises a contact side (6) for contacting the object (3) during sensing, wherein the enclosure (4) and the capacitive sensor (2) are adapted for sensing the object (3) by the capacitive sensor (2) through the contact side (6) of the enclosure (4). The enclosure (4) and the capacitive sensor (2) are separable from each other for using the capacitive sensor (2) as a reusable device and for using the enclosure (4) as a disposable device. This allows capacitively sensing an object with a new, uncontaminated enclosure (4) and a reused capacitive sensor (2) and, thus, under improved hygienic conditions.
