Abstract
A system and method are provided for applying mechanical strain to a specimen of tissues and/or cells, for measuring the deformation of the specimen caused by the mechanical strain and for recording the deformation history for the specimen. The system comprises a specimen holder configured to hold a specimen and a strain-inducing apparatus coupled to the specimen holder and configured to apply a straining displacement of a preselected magnitude in at least a first preselected direction to the specimen to strain the specimen in a preselected manner. A measurement tool of the system measures the deformation of the specimen caused by the mechanical strain and a recording tool of the system records the deformation history for the specimen in memory.
