A growing bundle of F-actin pushing against an AFM cantilever. The lever exerts a pressure on the bundle due to elastic restoring force. However, the growing F-actin also exerts an upward force, and the measured force in the cantilever depends on the growth dynamics in the actin network. Growth does not occur uniformly in the bundle, rather growth is localized near the tip of the bundle.
