Schematic overview of the measurements performed to validate the MIMI indenter. The areas shaded with diagonal lines represent the PDMS sample. (A) First experiment: indentation of the top surface of a PDMS sample performed with a validated table top indenter as presented in ref.31. (B) Second experiment: indentation inside a PDMS sample performed with our MIMI indenter. (C) Third experiment: indentation inside a PDMS sample inside the NP of an IVD performed with our MIMI indenter. Not-to-scale.
