The Park FX40 Automatic Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) System is capable of high spatial resolution surface mapping and is equipped with a True Non-Contact TM mode capable of nanoscale surface analysis ...

Every winter, as the air sharpens and scarves return to shoulders, an old visitor also makes a reappearance: the flu. It announces itself with fever, aching limbs, and the familiar drip of a runny ...

Today we're looking at Atomic Force Microscopy! I built a "macro-AFM" to demonstrate the principles of an atomic force microscope, then we look at a real AFM (an nGauge AFM from ICSPI) and do a few ...

First invented in 1985 by IBM in Zurich, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a scanning probe technique for imaging. It involves a nanoscopic tip attached to a microscopic, flexible cantilever, which is ...

Influenza A viruses (IAVs) continue to cause epidemics worldwide due to their high mutability. Nevertheless, the initial step of infection, viral uptake into cells, has been challenging to observe ...

Reaching nanometric spatial resolution in terahertz (THz) nanoimaging provides a powerful tool for the characterization of photonic devices. Here, we couple a THz source to a conductive atomic force ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have reimagined the capabilities of atomic force microscopy, or AFM, transforming it from a tool for imaging nanoscale features ...

Polymers are crucial across multiple sectors, including food packaging, tire fabrication, adhesives, and medical‑grade plastics. Photothermal atomic force microscope‑based infrared spectroscopy ...

Abstract: Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) has remained one of the most prominent morphology tools for examining the microscopic world. However, the 3D-AFM has several disadvantages. First, the physical ...
