Nanobiotechnology — the characterization, design and application of biological systems at the nanometre scale — is a rapidly evolving area at the crossroads of nanoscience, biology and ...

An atomic force microscope (AFM) taps on samples with a tiny probe, instead of using light like a regular microscope. They ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

It is ideal for polymer, general surface characterization and materials applications The Agilent 5100 AFM/SPM microscope delivers atomic-scale resolution as well as direct video access to the scan ...

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 ...

[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 ...

Description: As atomic force microscopy enters its fourth decade as a primary technique for enabling research of all levels, its high-resolution data has helped researchers across a nearly countless ...

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.
