The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Microrheology of complex fluids (2005, methodology): “AFM has been used to probe the rheology of the surfaces of a number of viscoelastic cellular materials such as lungs (Alcaraz et al 2003) and fibroblast cells (Mahaffy et al 2000).”
A Review of Automated Microinjection Systems for Single Cells in the Embryogenesis Stage (2016, methodology): “The Hertz–Sneddon model [40] is used if the tip is spherical [43], [127], and the Bilodeau model [41] is used when the probing tip is pyramidal [42], [43].”
Mechanical models for living cells--a review. (2006, methodology): “, 2001) and AFM (Mahaffy et al., 2000; Alcaraz et al., 2003) are popular techniques used for conducting dynamic tests on adherent cells.”
Mechanical stiffness grades metastatic potential in patient tumor cells and in cancer cell lines (2011, background): “Application of more sophisticated models to quantify scale-free cell mechanics will provide further insight into this relationship (19, 20).”
AFM: a versatile tool in biophysics (2005, background): “Not only the stiffness of biological samples can be measured, but also their viscoelastic properties [183–186].”
