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 ...

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 ...

In this interview, Professor Emeritus Mervyn Miles at the University of Bristol speaks about the history and technology behind Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM). Can ...

This handbook illustrates the wide variety of operating modes available on Bruker AFMs, going well beyond the standard high‑resolution topographic imaging capabilities of AFM. The modes are broken ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a type of scanning probe microscopy that is used to see and measure surface topography, conduct force measurements or manipulate a sample’s surface. It can have nearly ...

Dublin, Jan. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2021-2031" has been added to ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a high-resolution imaging technique that generates 3D images of sample surfaces and characterizes their nanomechanical properties. AFM can be used for several ...

Invented 30 years ago, the atomic force microscope has been a major driver of nanotechnology, ranging from atomic-scale imaging to its latest applications in manipulating individual molecules, ...

Knowing interaction forces between nanostructures and their substrates is important in nanomanufacturing, such as template-directed assembly. A new mechanical membrane-based AFM (atomic force ...
