The method is based on the measurement of the resonance frequency of the microscope lever in contact with the sample. This frequency is related to the reduced Young modulus E{*} = E/(1-nu(2)) of the material, supposed to be isotropic. `Elastic' images of the cell are obtained simultaneously with the topographic images, which allows the observation of the mechanical properties of the cells at a nanometric scale. Layers G, S-1, S-2 and ML can clearly be distinguished. By comparison with known materials an estimation of the absolute modulus is given in the range 5-20 GPa, but should be considered with caution, because the inherent anisotropy of the materials has not been taken into account.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;pub-location: RIJKSHERBARIUM, PO BOX 9514, 2300 LEIDEN, NETHERLANDS&lt;br/&gt;publisher: INT ASSOC WOOD ANATOMISTS</style></notes></record></records></xml>
