A DIC Based Technique to Measure the Contraction of a Skeletal Muscle Engineered Tissue

Table 1

X-MET’s spontaneous contraction. Mean ± SD of X-MET’s spontaneous contraction measured using the force response with reference to the acquired images, at both 400 fps and 500 fps. .

	From force at 400 fps	From strain at 400 fps	From force at 500 fps	From strain at 500 fps
Mean ± SD (Hz)	4.520 ± 0.404	4.523 ± 0.403	4.545 ± 0.592	4.546 ± 0.591
