Publikováno v: Annals of Biomedical Engineering. 35:1608-1616

Cornea is a load-bearing tissue whose mechanical and viscoelastic characteristics are not well understood, due to the challenge associated with most of the measurements. A novel indentation technique has been developed for mechanical characterization
