Micrometer scale beams of attachment tissue exhibiting a gradient in mineral content were attached to a modified AFM system. The mineralized end of the beam was attached to a motorized stage. The unmineralized end of the beam was attached to a blunted AFM tip with electron beam radiation-cured glue. The AFM tip was then retracted to apply a tensile load on the beam to failure.
