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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) has emerged as a powerful tool for interrogating the biophysical properties of cancer cells at nanometre resolution. By mechanically probing the cell surface and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Institute of Physics in Zagreb, Croatia, in collaboration with international partners, have showcased new methods for visualizing atomic-scale changes in advanced materials. How do ...

In a study recently published in the journal Nano Letters, researchers from Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, Kanazawa, Japan, used frequency-modulated atomic force ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
