Ever wondered just how stiff our body's tissues are? Dive into the fascinating world of tissue mechanics and uncover the methods used to measure stiffness across various scales. From the nanoscale to the millimeter scale, we'll showcase cutting-edge techniques that scientists use every day. Get up close with a self-built model of an atomic-force microscope, and witness firsthand the mechanical probing of a gut tissue from a fruit fly through a captivating video. But the fun doesn't stop there! Test your skills with our interactive quiz, where you'll touch and probe a gel that mimicks the stiffness of different tissues. Can you guess which one you're feeling? Join us for an eye-opening exploration of tissue mechanics!
