Unlike almost every other kind of microscope, atomic-force microscopes (AFMs) don’t use any kind of optical beam to image ...

This atomic force microscope is really cool because it's different than any other microscope I've ever used. Instead of using light or electrons to image a sample, it actually touches it at the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The technology at the center of the growing "resolution revolution" has again shown its value to scientists at Yale by ...

Nearly a century ago, Ernst Ruska and Max Knoll provided the first demonstration of a microscope that could image specimens using electrons rather than light. The earliest images obtained via this ...
