Vertical Light Sheet Enhanced Side-View Imaging for AFM Cell Mechanics Studies

Abstract The ability to measure dynamic structural changes within a cell under applied load is essential for developing more accurate models of cell mechanics and mechanotransduction. Atomic force microscopy is a powerful tool for evaluating cell mechanics, but the dominant applied forces and sample...
