High-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) is the only experimental technique to directly watch proteins in dynamic action. However, as a surface scanning technique with limited spatial resolution, ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has established itself as a pivotal tool for probing the mechanical properties of soft biological tissues, cells and extracellular matrices at nanometre resolution. By ...

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) has emerged as a powerful tool for interrogating the biophysical properties of cancer cells at nanometre resolution. By mechanically probing the cell surface and ...

This handbook illustrates the wide variety of operating modes available on Bruker AFMs, going well beyond the standard high‑resolution topographic imaging capabilities of AFM. The modes are broken ...

Scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have developed a computational technique that greatly increases the resolution of atomic force microscopy, a specialized type of microscope that "feels" the atoms ...

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, ...

Nanomechanical systems have now reached a level of precision and miniaturization that will allow them to be used in ultra-high-resolution atomic force microscopes in the future. (Nanowerk News) ...

The Asylum Research MFP-3D Origin+ Atomic Force Microscope offers high-resolution imaging, supports large samples, and comes with a full range of imaging modes and accessories. Cantilevers are located ...

The Park FX40 Automatic Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) System is capable of high spatial resolution surface mapping and is equipped with a True Non-Contact TM mode capable of nanoscale surface analysis ...

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 ...

In MFM, a magnetic-coated AFM probe interacts with magnetic field gradients from the sample, causing detectable forces on the probe's cantilever. To focus on magnetic interactions, MFM is often ...

Doing it yourself may not get you the most precise lab equipment in the world, but it gets you a hands-on appreciation of the techniques that just can’t be beat. Today’s example of this adage: [Stoppi ...
