Quantifying Mechanical Heterogeneity in 3D Biological Systems with the Atomic Force Microscope

abstract: The atomic force microscope (AFM) is capable of directly probing the mechanics of samples with length scales from single molecules to tissues and force scales from pico to micronewtons. In particular, AFM is widely used as a tool to measure the elastic modulus of soft biological samples by...
