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) ...

Within a decade, this unconventional microscope has evolved into a multifunctional ... Decreasing the size of cantilevers should improve the force resolution, thereby permitting smaller forces ...

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 ...

Without the need for a current, such an "atomic force microscope" (AFM) could reveal the structure of nonconductive materials such as proteins, organelles, and whole cells. Immediately thereafter, the ...

[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 ...

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 ...

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM ... and suit varying research needs. Unlike SEM, which scans the surface of the sample, TEM transmits a high-energy electron beam through an ultra-thin specimen. This ...

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.

Atomic force microscopy utilizes fine probes for providing high resolution and three-dimensional view of an object at nanometer levels. Atomic force microscopy is used for determining the ...

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 ...

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 ...
