Claim:
1. A transducer system, comprising: a transducer head having an ultrasonic transducer disposed therein and having a first surface configured to be exposed to process pressure when the transducer system is mounted in a flowcell; a transducer stem coupled to the transducer head and extending therefrom; and a pressure mounting assembly in which at least a portion of the transducer stem is disposed, the pressure mounting assembly having a first pressure balance surface configured to be exposed to process pressure when the transducer system is mounted in a flowcell, the first pressure balance surface being configured to balance forces applied by an atmospheric pressure on the first surface; wherein the first surface and the first pressure balance surface face in opposite directions such that process pressure acting on the first pressure balance surface offsets process pressure acting on the first surface.
