abstract: For Stiffness, we have several ways, Vicker's, Nano Indentor and NanoIndentation with AFM. Recent study needs several nm, tens of nm scale lateral resolution. For this request, AFM supply new technology, PeakForce QNM®, is only way to measure sub molecular level modulus mapping. In this article, introduce several data and specially talk about bone modulus near osteocytic lacunae treated with PTH which is considering to resolve bone matrix around the osteocytic lacunae.
