Atoms measure roughly 0.1 nanometers across, a scale so small that scientists spent more than six decades developing ...

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 ...

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 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, ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has evolved into an indispensable tool for nanoscale imaging and fabrication, enabling both high-resolution surface characterisation and precise nanomachining. By ...

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) has evolved into a central technique in nanotechnology, providing three-dimensional imaging and precise measurements at the atomic scale. Its ability to probe surfaces by ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a high-resolution imaging technique that generates 3D images of sample surfaces and characterizes their nanomechanical properties. AFM can be used for several ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have reimagined the capabilities of atomic force microscopy, or AFM, transforming it from a tool for imaging nanoscale features ...

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 ...

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 ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a cornerstone technique for nanoscale manipulation, and has applications in nanoparticle assembly, biomolecule handling, semiconductor device manufacturing, etc.

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 ...
