Today we're looking at Atomic Force Microscopy! I built a "macro-AFM" to demonstrate the principles of an atomic force ...

What Is Atomic Force Microscopy? Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful technique that enables surface ultrastructure visualization at molecular resolution. 1 Besides three-dimensional (3D) ...

AFM is revolutionizing nanobiotechnological research. Within a decade, this unconventional microscope has evolved into a multifunctional toolbox. For the first time, single cellular machineries ...

A new mechanical membrane-based AFM (atomic force microscopy) probe is proposed for measuring interaction forces between its tip and a substrate together with the topography of the substrate. The ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM), known for its nanometer-scale resolution and piconewton-scale force sensitivity, offers ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a way to investigate the surface features of some materials. It works by “feeling” or “touching” the surface with an extremely small probe. This provides a ...

[Andres] is working with an Atomic Force Microscope, a device that drags a small needle across a surface to produce an image with incredible resolution. The AFM can produce native .STL files ...

Conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM) is a powerful nanoscale characterization technique that combines the high-resolution imaging capabilities of atomic force microscopy (AFM) with the ability ...

One of the most important acronyms in nanotechnology is AFM – Atomic Force Microscopy. This instrument has become the most widely used tool for imaging, measuring and manipulating matter at the ...

Current optical and electron microscopy imaging techniques are not suited for measuring the dynamic characteristics of living microorganisms at tiny scales due to complex sample preparation methods or ...

Developed as a way to image the surface of materials, atomic force microscopy is revealing new insights into molecular processes in cells. The invention of the optical microscope in the ...
