Biocompatible Cantilevers for Mechanical Characterization of Zebrafish Embryos using Image Analysis

Biocompatible Cantilevers for Mechanical Characterization of Zebrafish Embryos using Image Analysis

We have developed a force sensing system to continuously evaluate the mechanical elasticity of micrometer-scale (a few hundred micrometers to a millimeter) live tissues. The sensing is achieved by measuring the deflection of force sensitive cantilevers through microscopic image analysis, which does...
