Atomic force microscopy is a powerful technique that has been widely used in materials research, nano-imaging, and bioimaging. It is a topographical metrology approach that is commonly utilized in ...

In this interview, Professor Emeritus Mervyn Miles at the University of Bristol speaks about the history and technology behind Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM). Can ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have reimagined the capabilities of atomic force microscopy, or AFM, transforming it from a tool for imaging nanoscale features ...

Today we're looking at Atomic Force Microscopy! I built a "macro-AFM" to demonstrate the principles of an atomic force microscope, then we look at a real AFM (an nGauge AFM from ICSPI) and do a few ...

To observe biomolecules at work they must reside in their native environments. For soluble proteins this is a physiological buffer. Membrane proteins, in addition, need to be embedded in a lipid ...

Bio-AFM is a cutting-edge technique rooted in the rich history of atomic force microscopy. Here, we discuss its applications to nanoscience. Studying nanoscale biological specimens has been important ...

Novel developments also focus on quick and high-speed AFM to improve temporal resolution. 2 The combination of AFM with optical microscopy has expanded the number of possible applications, ...

This article focuses on atomic force microscopy, electrochemical impedance spectra, and the interrelation between the two concepts. Image processing of anchored bilayers, such as tethered bilayer ...

For anyone that’s fiddled around with a magnifying glass, it’s pretty easy to understand how optical microscopes work. And as microscopes are just an elaboration on a simple hand lens, so too are ...

Invented 30 years ago, the atomic force microscope has been a major driver of nanotechnology, ranging from atomic-scale imaging to its latest applications in manipulating individual molecules, ...
