Plot of experimentally measured buckling loads for various titanium microelectrode design variants vs. theoretical Euler critical buckling loads for fixed-free and fixed-pinned end conditions. Experimental data points represent the average measured buckling load for 5 specimens. The standard deviations of the reported measurements for each design variant are 20.70 mN, 4.18 mN, and 4.41 mN for shank lengths of 2 mm, 4.9 mm, and 5.4 mm, respectively
