The AFM system for lens capsule elasticity measurements is a custom-built modification of the AFM design used for imaging. The cantilever is moved vertically using a piezoelectric translator. The Petri dish containing the lens capsule is placed below the cantilever. When in contact with the sample, the cantilever is bent causing the beam of the laser diode to be deflected. A photodiode monitors these deflections.
