Biological applications of scanning probe microscopies.
Biological Applications of Scanning Probe Microscopy. Scanning probe microscopes (SPMs) have now become established as the foremost tools in the imaging of surfaces and surface–confined structures at up to angstrom resolution. Whilst spectroscopic methods such as Raman, ellipsometry and surface plasmon resonance continue to provide useful information on interfaces, they remain tools of restrict...
متن کاملAtomic force microscopy and other scanning probe microscopies.
The highlight of the past year is the unfolding and refolding of the muscle protein titin in the atomic force microscope. A related highlight in the intersection between experiment and theory is a recent review of the effects of molecular forces on biochemical kinetics. Other advances in scanning probe microscopy include entropic brushes, molecular sandwiches and applications of atomic force mi...
متن کاملElectrostatic interactions with dielectric samples in scanning probe microscopies
Electrostatic interactions between the conducting tip of a scanning probe microscope and a flat conductor coated with a thin or thick dielectric layer are treated analytically and numerically. Exact and compact approximate expressions for the capacitance, force, force gradient, electric field profiles, and their effective widths are derived for a spherical model tip by generalizing known soluti...
متن کاملHigh-Yield Assembly of Individual Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Tips for Scanning Probe Microscopies
The structural and mechanical properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) make them ideal tips for scanning probe microscopies such as atomic force microscopy (AFM). However, the ideal nanotube probe, which corresponds to an individual SWNT, has been difficult to produce in high yield. To overcome this difficulty, a straightforward and easily implemented method that enables very high-y...
متن کاملBiological Investigation Using Scanning Probe Recognition Microscopy
Direct investigation of, and interaction with, biological objects at the macromolecular level will provide insight into multiple physical regulatory processes. Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) techniques have the potential to provide a direct interaction with living specimens at the macromolecular scale. In the present research we will discuss the site-specific recognition techniques that are ap...
