Abstract
We present an interferometric imaging technique that permits local measurement of mechanical properties and nanomechanical motion in small living animals. Measurements of nanomechanical properties and spatially resolved pulsations of Danio rerio) embryo, an important model organism. We also used magnetic microreflectors to conduct contact nanomechanical indentation measurements of the stiffness of the embryonic eye.Keywords
