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) ...

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 ...

First invented in 1985 by IBM in Zurich, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a scanning probe technique for imaging. It involves a nanoscopic tip attached to a microscopic, flexible cantilever, which is ...

When it comes to analyzing living cells, challenging biological samples and thick, multilayer tissue samples require purposefully designed instrumentation. BioAFMs are ideal when it comes to these ...

Today we're looking at Atomic Force Microscopy! I built a "macro-AFM" to demonstrate the principles of an atomic force microscope, then we look at a real AFM (an nGauge AFM from ICSPI) and do a few ...

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 ...

In this infographic, we dive into how atomic force microscopy (AFM) works, the technical features one must consider and how it can be implemented for biomechanical investigation. AFM provides ...

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 ...

At school, it's often presented as a tidy double helix but scientists are revealing the varied and intricate shapes of DNA molecules. DNA is a molecule found in just about every living cell. Because ...

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 ...
