How is Nano Indentation Performed on Biological Tissues?
The process involves preparing a tissue sample and placing it under a nanoindenter. The indenter, typically made from a hard material like diamond, is pressed into the tissue with a controlled force. The depth of indentation and the force applied are recorded to generate a force-displacement curve. This data is then used to calculate mechanical properties such as hardness, elastic modulus, and viscoelastic behavior.
