Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a way to investigate the surface features ... The needle is dragged across the surface of a material, and when the needle touches an atom, it causes the tool to bend ...

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) ...

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy is a subset of Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM), a group of techniques that image and manipulate surfaces at the nanometer to atomic scales. SPM techniques share the ...

An atomic force microscope uses a cantilever with a sharp ... resolution molecular structures can be obtained, such as by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy or crystallography.

Two recent advances in force-detection microscopy may one day revolutionize the science of the very small. One prototype tweaks traditional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques; the other ...

[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 ...

The Agilent 5100 AFM/SPM microscope is a high-resolution system that provides excellent imaging capabilities in an easy-to-upgrade package. The 5100 offers researchers many of the same features as ...

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 ...

Our project focuses on analyzing how proteins assemble on membranes using Atomic Force Microscopy. With high-resolution, fast-scan Atomic Force Microscopy, we will directly visualize the structure and ...

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 ...
