Accurate Modelling of AFM Force-Indentation Curves with Blunted Indenters at Small Indentation Depths
When testing biological samples with atomic force microscopy (AFM) nanoindentation using pyramidal indenters, Sneddon’s equation is commonly used for data processing, approximating the indenter as a perfect cone. While more accurate models treat the AFM tip as a blunted cone or pyramid, these are co...
