    Abstract: A stretcher device configured for use with an optical microscope includes a platform defining an opening configured to receive hydrogel containing a biological sample. An indenting cylinder is axially aligned with the opening. At least one actuator is connected to the platform for moving the platform relative to the indenting cylinder such that the indenting cylinder stretches the hydrogel and thereby stretches the biological sample.
