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, ...
متن کاملAtomic force microscopy: Studying mechanical properties of a cell
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a modern imaging technique that generates height representations of a sample surface with subnanometer resolution. Since 1986 it has evolved into a versatile tool which also provides maps of elastic and viscoelastic properties. AFM offers the opportunity to image samples with or without treatment in various environments. Aim of this work is a short description o...
متن کاملAtomic force microscopy of biological samples.
The ability to evaluate structural-functional relationships in real time has allowed scanning probe microscopy (SPM) to assume a prominent role in post genomic biological research. In this mini-review, we highlight the development of imaging and ancillary techniques that have allowed SPM to permeate many key areas of contemporary research. We begin by examining the invention of the scanning tun...

متن کاملStudy of the mechanical properties of single cells as biocomposites by atomic force microscopy
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a unique method to study a single cell surface layer as a biocomposite. This chapter focuses on the advantages of two AFM modes, namely force spectroscopy (providing the information about local elastic properties of cells) and lateral force microscopy (LFM, revealing mechanical heterogeneity of cells surface), to make quantitative analysis of single cells mechan...
