An AFM instrument uses a probe with an atomically sharp tip to scan over the surface of a material. There are two main scanning modes with an AFM instrument: contact or dynamic (tapping) mode. Both ...

The world of nanoscale analysis has been revolutionized by the advent of electrical Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) modes. New possibilities for measuring electrical properties with remarkable precision ...

This article introduces the FX200, the latest large-sample Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) from Park Systems, developed to meet both fundamental and advanced research requirements. The FX200 is ...

What Is Atomic Force Microscopy? Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful technique that enables surface ultrastructure visualization at molecular resolution. 1 Besides three-dimensional (3D) ...

Polymers are crucial across multiple sectors, including food packaging, tire fabrication, adhesives, and medical‑grade plastics. Photothermal atomic force microscope‑based infrared spectroscopy ...

New NE-AFM method measures nuclear stiffness in living cells. It shows cancer nuclei change softness with chromatin and environment, aiding diagnosis and treatment. By employing a technique called ...

Force spectroscopy relies on the precise measurement of forces acting on a probe as it interacts with a sample. The key principles of force spectroscopy include: AFM-based force spectroscopy is the ...
