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) ...

Force microscopy is a family of scanning probe microscopy techniques that enable the visualization and manipulation of materials at the nanoscale. These techniques rely on the interaction forces ...

Scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have developed a computational technique that greatly increases the resolution of atomic force microscopy, a specialized type of microscope that "feels" the atoms ...

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, ...

In July 1985, three physicists—Gerd Binnig of the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, Christoph Gerber of the University of Basel, and Calvin Quate of Stanford University—puzzled over a problem while ...

The new Cypher VRS1250 video-rate atomic force microscope (AFM) is twice as fast as the first-generation Cypher VRS, with the ability to scan rates up to 1250 lines/second and frame rates up to 45 ...

The Asylum Research MFP-3D Origin+ Atomic Force Microscope offers high-resolution imaging, supports large samples, and comes with a full range of imaging modes and accessories. Cantilevers are located ...

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 ...

AFAM operates by exciting the sample with ultrasonic waves while simultaneously probing the surface with an AFM tip. The ultrasonic waves cause the sample to vibrate, and the AFM tip detects these ...
