Simplifying Data Processing in AFM Nanoindentation Experiments on Thin Samples

When testing soft biological samples using the Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) nanoindentation method, data processing is typically based on equations derived from Hertzian mechanics. To account for the finite thickness of the samples, precise extensions of Hertzian equations have been developed for b...
