A collaborative research team from Kanazawa University and Kyoto University reports the successful visualization of how densely assembled macrocyclic host molecules cooperatively capture guest ...

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 ...

Current optical and electron microscopy imaging techniques are not suited for measuring the dynamic characteristics of living microorganisms at tiny scales due to complex sample preparation methods or ...

Today we're looking at Atomic Force Microscopy! I built a "macro-AFM" to demonstrate the principles of an atomic force microscope, then we look at a real AFM (an nGauge AFM from ICSPI) and do a few ...

Recognition of the crucial role that nanomechanical properties play in the structure and function of biological systems is growing steadily. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), a high-resolution surface ...

Thought LeaderDr. George HeathUniversity Academic FellowUniversity of Leeds In this interview, AZoNano speaks with Dr. George Heath from the University of Leeds, UK, about the fundamental principles ...

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 ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a high-resolution imaging technique that generates 3D images of sample surfaces and characterizes their nanomechanical properties. AFM can be used for several ...

Fluidic force microscopy (FluidFM) is a cutting-edge technique that integrates atomic force microscopy (AFM) with nanofluidics, enabling simultaneous imaging and manipulation of biological samples at ...

Researchers from Osaka University combine high-speed atomic force microscopy with a laser light source for real-time observation of azo-polymer films Osaka, Japan – Expanding our scientific ...
