In addition, molecular interactions control the way that cells communicate ... this unconventional microscope has evolved into a multifunctional toolbox. For the first time, single cellular ...

If you’d like to try out this build but don’t have access to an atomic force microscope, never fear: you can build one for about $1000 from a few pieces of metal, an old CD burner ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a way to investigate the surface features of some materials. It works by “feeling” or “touching” the surface with an extremely small probe. This provides a ...

The technique is akin to Invented in 1986 atomic force microscopy (AFM) has become a valuable tool for life scientists, offering the ability to image aqueous biological samples, like membranes, at ...

Without the need for a current, such an "atomic force microscope" (AFM) could reveal the structure of nonconductive materials such as proteins, organelles, and whole cells. Immediately thereafter, the ...

“Since all the functions of cells are realized ... to visualize them directly.” One of the most exciting of these nano-imaging methods is atomic force microscopy (AFM). Invented as a way ...

Biomechanical measurements performed with an atomic force microscope (AFM ... thanks to control software that moves the AFM from one cell to another. To standardize the measurements, parameters ...

A team of engineers has discovered a simple, affordable way to make ordinary wood much stronger—without adding extra weight ...

A recent study published in the Journal of Extracellular Vesicles explored how high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM ... play important roles in cell-to-cell communication and are promising ...

Using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), they captured the ... Their findings are published in Nucleic Acids Research. In most cells, DNA is wrapped around proteins called histones ...

The atomic force microscopy research facility at the DLR Institute of Engineering Thermodynamics in Oldenburg enables the nanoscale surface analysis of components for fuel cell and electrolysis ...

Researchers in our Atomic force microscopy (AFM) facility specialise in imaging and force measurement on biological systems, from the sub-molecular level through to cells and tissue ... We're a member ...
