Figure 2From: Development of method for evaluating cell hardness and correlation between bacterial spore hardness and durabilityRepresentative measurement positions for G. stearothermophilus spore and determined Young’s modulus. Upper slides showed the position to determination of Young’s modulus every 40 nm along the x- and y-axes. Small letters and arrows indicate measurement positions. Lower slides showed the results that Young’s modulus was measured at 40 nm intervals along the x- and y-axes. Letters indicate measurement positions of upper.Back to article page
