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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Today we're looking at Atomic Force Microscopy! I built a "macro-AFM" to demonstrate the principles of an atomic force ...

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 ...
