ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for examining fiber tension, fiber stress, sarcomere length, etc. in muscle fibers and tension and stress in ligament or tendon tissues as well as brain or nerve fibers by applying a lifting force to lift the fiber or tissue a lifting distance, measuring the lifting force and distance and calculating the axial tension on the fiber bundle or tissue. The apparatus and method also make it possible to illuminate and view the fiber bundle or tissue to examine and characterize visually observable properties.
