Today we're looking at Atomic Force Microscopy! I built a "macro-AFM" to demonstrate the principles of an atomic force ...

The AFM market is buoyed by demands in semiconductor miniaturization and nanotechnology research, requiring precise metrology solutions. Growth opportunities lie in automated AFM systems for yield ...

First invented in 1985 by IBM in Zurich, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a scanning probe technique for imaging. It involves a nanoscopic tip attached to a microscopic, flexible cantilever, which is ...

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 ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has evolved into an indispensable tool for nanoscale investigation, enabling detailed imaging and quantification of surface topography as well as mechanical properties.

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 ...

A recent international research project has used advanced microscopy techniques and computational modeling to discover why ...

The developed high-speed three-dimensional scanning force microscopy enabled the measurement of 3D force distribution at solid-liquid interfaces at 1.6 s/3D image. With this technique, 3D hydration ...

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 ...

Researchers have used tip-scan high-speed atomic force microscopy combined with an optical microscope to observe light-induced deformation of azo-polymer films. The process could be followed in real ...

In this interview, Professor Emeritus Mervyn Miles at the University of Bristol speaks about the history and technology behind Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM). Can ...
