Four femurs were subsequently tested to failure under axial compression, with displacement control at a rate of 0.1 mm per second.
The optical system has a numerical aperture of N.A. = 0.65, scans slides at a rate of 3 mm per second, and accrues up to 3,000 images per second from each of the 80 miniaturized microscopes.
An Instron machine applied tensile loads parallel to the axis of insertion at a rate of 12.5 mm per second until failure and mean anchor failure strengths were calculated.
Image reconstruction parameters included 5-mm slice thickness; 7.5 mm per second feed/rotation, and 5 mm increment.
Points are taken every 0.3 mm along the trace (the 'pitch') using a measurement speed of 5 mm per second.
Gradients were fractionated at 0.17 mm per second using the BioComp Gradient Master while the A260 was continuously monitored.
During the test, the actuator on the automated device advances at a rate of 2.5 mm per second.
The CT scanner was set as follows: collimation 5 mm; interval 5 mm; bed speed 15 mm per second; voltage 140 kV; and current 240 mA.
Ten representative fruit per tree were harvested and for five of these fruit, fresh weight was recorded and maximum firmness measured using a GUSS penetrometer with an 11.1-mm probe inserted at a speed of 10 mm per second.
Alternatively, the electrogelation was applied continuously during 450 actively reciprocating stroke cycles during which the piston rod traveled 10 mm at a velocity of 1 mm per second per cycle.
