Optics11 Standard Piuma Indentation Probe
OPP100
The aim of this experiment was to use the nanoindenter probes to measure the stiffness of mouse organ.
Stiffness measurement
Mouse organ or biomaterials such as gels
The nanoindenter was calibrated as per the manufacturer's instructions.
Use small petri dishes when measuring stiffness of mouse tissue.
Stiffness was measured using the probe.
It is simpler to operate than atomic force microscopy.
None
Ease of use, digital information, applicable for biological investigations.
Cumbersome to calibrate.
Takes several trials before the instrument is optimised for biological sample measurements.
