Elastic modulus results for a) the anterior basement membrane, E = 7.5 ± 4.2 kPa with a range of 2 kPa — 15 kPa and b) Descemet’s membrane, E = 50 ± 17.8 kPa with a range of 20 kPa — 80 kPa. Each cornea has a minimum of 10 data points included, with each data point being an average of three force curves. The data labeled with a * is data that was collected with a 5 μm radius spherical tip. The change in tip size does not change the resulting moduluis values.
