Nanomechanical Mapping of Hard Tissues by Atomic Force Microscopy: An Application to Cortical Bone

Force mapping of biological tissues via atomic force microscopy (AFM) probes the mechanical properties of samples within a given topography, revealing the interplay between tissue organization and nanometer-level composition. Despite considerable attention to soft biological samples, constructing el...
