Macrophages drive key immune processes including inflammation, tissue repair, and tumorigenesis via distinct polarization ...

Researchers have developed a method that combines AFM and AI to accurately profile macrophage mechanophenotypes.

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a method of topographical measurement, wherein a fine probe is raster scanned over a material, and the minute variation in probe height is interpreted by laser ...

The study of biological systems varies from whole organisms, organs, and organoids, down to their building blocks of proteins and cells. At the lower end of the scale, atomic force microscope (AFM) ...

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 ...

Quantum Design (QD) announces the culmination of almost a decade of research into the area of correlative microscopy. The FusionScope is an innovative correlative microscope that combines the power of ...

AFM differs significantly from traditional microscopy techniques as it does not project light or electrons on the sample's surface to create its image. Instead, AFM utilizes a sharp probe while ...

Researchers at Kanazawa University report in Nano Letters how high-speed atomic force microscopy leads to insights into processes relevant to Alzheimer's disease. Moreover, the technique is shown to ...

In order to increase our understanding of structural dynamics of biomolecules at the single-molecule level, they would need to be captured at the sub-nanometer scale and in physiologically relevant ...

Novel developments also focus on quick and high-speed AFM to improve temporal resolution. 2 The combination of AFM with optical microscopy has expanded the number of possible applications, ...

Researchers developed and validated a label-free, non-invasive method combining AFM with deep learning for accurate profiling ...
