Abstract
Brillouin microscopy provides information about the longitudinal modulus (M’) of materials; however, in cell and tissue biomechanics the preferred information for mechanical characterizations is the Shear Modulus (G’). These two quantities have been empirically correlated, but this correlation is ill-defined due to the different underlying physics corresponding to these moduli. Using hydrogels as models, we hypothesize and demonstrate that the empirical connection between the two moduli is due to underlying biochemical and physical local packaging.
