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 ...

Christoph Gerber, who co-invented the atomic force microscope, tells Matthew Chalmers how the AFM came about 30 years ago and why it continues to shape research at the nanoscale Nano-vision Christoph ...

Unlike almost every other kind of microscope, atomic-force microscopes (AFMs) don’t use any kind of optical beam to image their subjects. Instead, they physically detect the subject’s surface with a ...

Dublin, Jan. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2021-2031" has been added to ...

Invented 30 years ago, the atomic force microscope has been a major driver of nanotechnology, ranging from atomic-scale imaging to its latest applications in manipulating individual molecules, ...

The Park FX40 Automatic Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) System is capable of high spatial resolution surface mapping and is equipped with a True Non-Contact TM mode capable of nanoscale surface analysis ...

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 ...

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 ...

Understanding the dissolution processes of minerals can provide key insights into geochemical processes. Attempts to explain some of the observations during the dissolution of calcite (CaCO 3) have ...

The Semilab AFM-1000 is a state-of-the-art tabletop atomic force microscope designed to deliver high-resolution, sub-atomic, precise measurements with an extremely low noise level. It enables highly ...
