Without the need for a current, such an "atomic force microscope" (AFM) could reveal the structure of nonconductive materials such as proteins, organelles, and whole cells. Immediately thereafter, the ...

One of the most important acronyms in nanotechnology is AFM – Atomic Force Microscopy. This instrument has become the most widely used tool for imaging, measuring and manipulating matter at the ...

The atomic force microscope (AFM) was invented five years after the scanning tunnelling microscope (STM), but it has since become the most widely used form of scanning probe microscopy.

All of this is involved in one high-speed atomic force microscope. 03:57 Currently, Kanazawa University has more than 40 high-speed AFMs, and conducts a range of research.

Atomic force microscopy is a subset of scanning probe microscopy. The Veeco Dimension 3000 operates in both tapping and contact modes, with capabilities of topographic and phase imaging, lateral force ...
