Critical aspects of nano-indentation technique in application to hardened cement paste (2011, result): “BSE (bottom) and AFM (top; after indentation; average plane subtracted) [27,28], is to choose the position of indentation points in advance such that NI would “hit” a particular phase and thus increase the accuracy of the obtained results.”
