Typical microindenter data. (A) Because of downward capillary force exerted by the Ringer solution, there is a slight increase in force before imposition of physical deformation on the specimen. (B) During ramp loading, force rapidly increases because of deformation by the indenter. (C) During maintained deformation, force relaxation is observed for >100 seconds. (D) The force returns to zero after the probe is lifted from the specimen.
