Fig. 13 — Tissue holding and alignment system. The sample holder has a top holder and a removable bottom holder. (A) The bottom holder component is placed at the center of the testing chamber, the top holder component is placed on top of its bottom counterpart and aligned with the lower part of the clamp. The sample is then placed at the center of the sample holder and the top portion of the clamps are set in place and secured with the thumbscrews. (B) Once the sample is secured, the bottom holder component is removed by sliding it carefully away from the center of the system, and (C) the top holder portion is moved down and (D) removed from the testing chamber. The use of this sample holder allow us to set the sample at the center of the system, well aligned with the actuation axes.
