Why Are Micro Indentation Probes Important in Histology?
Understanding the mechanical properties of tissues is crucial for several reasons. In disease diagnosis, changes in tissue stiffness can be indicative of pathological conditions such as cancer or fibrosis. For example, malignant tumors often have different stiffness characteristics compared to normal tissues. Micro indentation probes can help in the early detection of such conditions by providing quantitative data on tissue properties.
