AFM is revolutionizing nanobiotechnological research. Within a decade, this unconventional microscope has evolved ... of cantilevers should improve the force resolution, thereby permitting smaller ...

Knowing interaction forces between nanostructures and their substrates is important in nanomanufacturing, such as template-directed assembly. A new mechanical membrane-based AFM (atomic force ...

Yves Dufrêne and colleagues at the Université Catholique de Louvain now report the use of a kind of AFM called chemical force microscopy (CFM) to map the hydrophobicity of live microbes (Dague ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers in our Atomic force microscopy (AFM) facility specialise in imaging and force measurement on biological systems, from the sub-molecular level through to cells and tissue. Off We currently ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a type of scanning probe microscopy that is used to see and measure surface topography, conduct force measurements or manipulate a sample’s surface. It can have nearly ...

There is another way to investigate the domain of the very small: an atomic force microscope. Unlike their electron spewing brothers, they don’t require high voltages or hard vacuums.

The Agilent 6000ILM AFM seamlessly integrates the capabilities of an atomic force microscope (AFM) with those of an inverted light microscope (ILM) or an inverted confocal microscope, letting life ...

employed frequency-modulation atomic force microscopy (FM-AFM) to study the submolecular arrangement of tubulin dimers on both the inner and outer MT surfaces (see fig. 1). The inner MT surface ...
