The micropipette force sensor (MFS) technique relies on measuring the forces acting on a force-calibrated, hollow glass micropipette by optically detecting its deflections. The MFS technique covers a wide micro- and mesoscopic regime of detectable forces (tens of pN to mN) and sample sizes (μm to mm), does not require gluing of the sample to the cantilever, and allows for simultaneous optical imaging of the sample throughout the experiment.
