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) ...

In order to increase our understanding of structural dynamics of biomolecules at the single-molecule level, they would need to be captured at the sub-nanometer scale and in physiologically relevant ...

A further development in atomic force microscopy now makes it possible to simultaneously image the height profile of nanometer-fine structures as well as the electric current and the frictional force ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a method of topographical measurement, wherein a fine probe is raster scanned over a material, and the minute variation in probe height is interpreted by laser ...

Invented in 1986 atomic force microscopy (AFM) has become a valuable tool for life scientists, offering the ability to image aqueous biological samples, like membranes, at nanometer resolution. The ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has evolved into an indispensable tool for nanoscale imaging and fabrication, enabling both high-resolution surface characterisation and precise nanomachining. By ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has evolved into an indispensable tool for nanoscale investigation, enabling detailed imaging and quantification of surface topography as well as mechanical properties.

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 ...

The new Cypher VRS1250 video-rate atomic force microscope (AFM) is twice as fast as the first-generation Cypher VRS, with the ability to scan rates up to 1250 lines/second and frame rates up to 45 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...
