Finite Element Modelling of Single Cell Based on Atomic Force Microscope Indentation Method

Figure 1

Schematic diagram of the locations of the AFM tip and 3D structure of the HeLa cell: point 1 is at the cell centre; point 2 is 1/4 of the major diameter from the cell centre; point 3 is 1/2 of the major diameter from the cell centre; point 4 is 3/4 of the major diameter from the cell centre. (a) Indenting locations and 2D structure. (b) 3D structure.
