An Atomic Force Microscope with Dual Actuation Capability for Biomolecular Experiments
We report a modular atomic force microscope (AFM) design for biomolecular experiments. The AFM head uses readily available components and incorporates deflection-based optics and a piezotube-based cantilever actuator. Jetted-polymers have been used in the mechanical assembly, which allows rapid manufacturing. In addition, a FeCo-tipped electromagnet provides high-force cantilever actuation with...
متن کاملDual Actuation for High Speed Atomic Force Microscopy
In atomic force microscopy (AFM) the imaging speed is strongly limited by the bandwidth of the feedback loop that controls the interaction between the measurement tip and the sample. A significant increase in closed-loop bandwidth can be achieved by combining a long-range, low-bandwidth actuator with a short-range, high-bandwidth actuator, forming a dual actuated system. This contribution discu...
متن کاملForce Spectroscopy with the Atomic Force Microscope
Introduction and Review Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) Spectroscopy is an AFM based technique to measure, and sometimes control the polarity and strength of the interaction between the AFM tip and the sample. Although the tip-sample interaction may be studied in terms of the energy, the quantity that is measured first is always the tip-sample force, and thus the nomenclature: force spectroscopy....
متن کاملNanowear of Atomic Force Microscope Tips: Modeling and Experiments
In this paper, a simple analytical model to predict the nanowear of atomic force microscope tips is presented and experimentally validated. The model is based on the assumption that the energy consumed to remove the unit volume is a material/structural (i.e. size-dependent) parameter. Nanoscratch tests show that this hypothesis is plausible and, more importantly, that the specific energy is clo...
متن کاملAtomic force microscope based biomolecular force-clamp measurements using a micromachined electrostatic actuator.
The authors describe a method for biomolecular force clamp measurements using atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilevers and micromachined membrane-based electrostatic actuators. The actuators comprise of Parylene membranes with embedded side actuation electrodes and are fabricated on a silicon substrate. The devices have a displacement range of 1.8 μm with 200 V actuation voltage, and displacem...
