To understand the microtribological properties of biological material, information about the surface sculpture and material design are necessary. Additionally, many biological frictional and adhesive systems are supplemented by various secretions delivered in the contact area. Such secretions are products of specialized cells. The biological sciences profited enormously from the development of microscopy techniques. Light microscopy, together with histological and histochemical techniques, aided in understanding the structure and functions of tissues and cells. Scanning (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) have contributed to studies at the sub-cellular level of biological organization.
