Susceptibility of atomic force microscope cantilevers to lateral forces
V-shaped cantilevers are used widely in the atomic force microscope ~AFM! due to their perceived enhanced resistance to lateral forces in comparison to rectangular cantilevers. In this article, we rigorously investigate this premise, and in so doing establish that, contrary to established operating principles and intuition, V-shaped AFM cantilevers are generally more prone to the effects of lat...
متن کاملLateral force calibration of an atomic force microscope with a diamagnetic levitation spring system
A novel diamagnetic lateral force calibrator D-LFC has been developed to directly calibrate atomic force microscope AFM cantilever-tip or -bead assemblies. This enables an AFM to accurately measure the lateral forces encountered in friction or biomechanical-testing experiments at a small length scale. In the process of development, deformation characteristics of the AFM cantilever assemblies un...
متن کاملNanotopographical imaging using a heated atomic force microscope cantilever probe
This paper reports quantitative topographical measurements using a heated atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilever probe. The study compares opographies measured by the cantilever thermal signal to topographies measured by the laser-deflection signal of an AFM system. The experiment sed 20 and 100 nm tall Si gratings as topographical test samples. The cantilever heater temperature ranged from 1...
متن کاملQuantification of the lateral detachment force for bacterial cells using atomic force microscope and centrifugation.
To determine the lateral detachment force for individual bacterial cells, a quantitative method using the contact mode of an atomic force microscope (AFM) was developed in this study. Three key factors for the proposed method, i.e. scan size, scan rate and cantilever choice, were evaluated and optimized. The scan size of 40×40 μm² was optimal for capturing sufficient number of adhered cells in ...
متن کاملChromosome snatching by lateral microtubules
W ith the rise of VHS in the 1980s came routine video time-lapse imaging of cellular phenomena in living cells. One of the fi rst to take advantage of the new technique was Conly Rieder at the Wadsworth Center in Albany, NY. Rieder was probing the origin of the microtubules that make up the kinetochore fi bers (K-fi bers), which attach chromosomes to the spindle during early prometaphase. In vi...
