Abstract

A centrifuge force microscope module for use within a bucket of a centrifuge in measuring a characteristic of a sample under a centrifugal force and/or in monitoring a sample under a centrifugal force. The centrifuge force microscope module includes an electronics module and an optical module. The electronics module includes a housing removably disposable in the bucket of the centrifuge, and at least one of a power source and a connector operably connectable to a power source for powering the electronics module. The optical module is operable to receive and direct light from the sample. The optical module is releaseably connectable to the housing of the electronics module.
