Automated analysis of soft hydrogel microindentation: Impact of various indentation parameters on the measurement of Young's modulus.

Measurements of Young's moduli are mostly evaluated using strong assumptions, such as sample homogeneity and isotropy. At the same time, descriptions of measurement parameters often lack detailed specifications. Many of these assumptions are, for soft hydrogels especially, not completely valid...
