Bruker’s Contact Resonance module is for mechanical characterisation of stiff biological samples, polymers and metals with AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy). Until now it was not possible to study the nanomechanical properties of samples such as teeth, bones, seeds, wood and medical implants with this level of accuracy.
An overview of how microtomography is used in paleontology, to study the internal micro-structure of bones, teeth, fossils and more.
