The 3D printed fiber microprobe for measuring in vivo biomechanical properties of tissue and single cell

Caption

Fiber optical nanomechanical probe (FONP) fabricated by femtosecond laser two‐photon polymerization technology can realize the biomechanical measurement down to 2.1 nanonewton. Such high precision enables the measurement of in vivo biomechanical properties of tissue, single cell, and other soft biomaterials.
