New AFM Tools for Automated Quantitative Nanomechanics on Living Cells and Tissues

Mots-clefs : Nanomechanics, Automation, Microrheology, Biomaterials, Correlative Microscopy

New developments and tools will be introduced to automate the mechanical characterization of large-scale, rough tissues and cell samples using AFM. In particular, a new mode called SmartMapping will be presented that allows the acquisition of free-form shaped maps and enables the mechanical characterization of rough samples (roughness >100µm) by combining a piezo-based z-motion with a motorized z-motion.
