3.Elastic Modulus of the Beam Calibrating Method
To realize quasi-static measurements of proteins,the elastic modulus of the beams needed to be calibrated.Although we know the mechanical properties of the material which form the beams (photocurable resin SCR701),careful calibration was inescapable because of the extremely small scale.However,no method was able to calibrate mechanical properties of small object.Hence,we developed an original system to correctly calibrate and identity the elastic modulus of the beams (Fig5).
