Force is applied to the piston by a spring (16) and a second piston (15) is advanced by a trigger assembly (18). Scales associated with the first and second pistons measure both the depth of penetration of the probe and the force required for penetration. The measurements may be used alone, or in conjunction, in determining tenderness.
