Integrating Atomic Force Microscopy in Scanning Electron Microscopy

Application of Scanning Electron and Atomic Force Mode Microscopy on inscription from Proto-Elamite period in Tappeh Sofalin

The study of cultural heritage artifacts and the research of a protection and restoration intervention create with - and are often limited to - a complete characterization of their surface. This is not only factual for museum objects, but also for archaeological artifacts, because the object as it was discovered may contain precious unknown information that could be lost by too much aggressive ...

Atomic Force Microscopy Application in Biological Research: A Review Study

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a three-dimensional topographic technique with a high atomic resolution to measure surface roughness. AFM is a kind of scanning probe microscope, and its near-field technique is based on the interaction between a sharp tip and the atoms of the sample surface. There are several methods and many ways to modify the tip of the AFM to investigate surface properties, ...

Keysight Technologies Combining Atomic Force Microscopy with Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy

Combining Atomic Force Microscopy and Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy

Introduction The visualisation of sample elements using various forms of microscopy relies not only on magnification but also contrast. As such, differing forms of microscopy offer different information about a sample. Laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) provides information about the 3D location of a particular, labelled component within a sample and has the additional advantage of exclu...

Characterization of protein immobilization on nanoporous gold using atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy.

Nanoporous gold (NPG), made by dealloying low carat gold alloys, is a relatively new nanomaterial finding application in catalysis, sensing, and as a support for biomolecules. NPG has attracted considerable interest due to its open bicontinuous structure, high surface-to-volume ratio, tunable porosity, chemical stability and biocompatibility. NPG also has the attractive feature of being able to...
