Imaging of in Vitro Collagen Fibers by Atomic Force Microscopy
The aim of this research was to investigate the use of atomic force microscopy (AFM) for the high-resolution imaging of collagen fibers in aqueous media. Collagen plays a vital role in many processes in vivo, especially in structural integrity, yet few studies have used AFM to investigate the structure of these fibers. Type I collagen was used in this study on AP-mica, poly-L-lysine-coated glas...
متن کاملFibrous long spacing collagen ultrastructure elucidated by atomic force microscopy.
Fibrous long spacing collagen (FLS) fibrils are collagen fibrils in which the periodicity is clearly greater than the 67-nm periodicity of native collagen. FLS fibrils were formed in vitro by the addition of alpha1-acid glycoprotein to an acidified solution of monomeric collagen and were imaged with atomic force microscopy. The fibrils formed were typically approximately 150 nm in diameter and ...
متن کاملSurface Evaluation of Resin Zein Films Containing Sugar Plasticizers by Permeability and Atomic Force Microscopy Analysis
Zein is one of the best biopolymer for edible film making and sugars are natural plasticizers for biopolymers. In this research, sugars (fructose, galactose and glucose) at three levels (0.5, 0.7, 1 g/g of zein) were used as plasticizers for zein protein films and their water vapor permeability (WVP), oxygen permeability (OP) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) topography were studied. The p...
متن کاملAcoustic microscopy by atomic force microscopy
We have constructed an atomic force microscope enabling one to image the topography of a sample, and to monitor simultaneously ultrasonic surface vibrations in the MHz range. For detection of the distribution of the ultrasonic vibration amplitude, a part of the position-sensing light beam reflected from the cantilever is directed to an external knife-edge detector. Acoustic images taken on the ...
متن کاملAtomic 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, ...
