Atomic Force Microscopy of height fluctuations of fibroblast cells [PDF]
We investigated the nanometer scale height fluctuations of 3T3 fibroblast cells with the atomic force microscope (AFM) under physiological conditions. Correlation between these fluctuations and lateral cellular motility can be observed.

CO Tip Functionalization Inverts Atomic Force Microscopy Contrast via Short-Range Electrostatic Forces [PDF]
We investigated insulating Cu$_2$N islands grown on Cu(100) by means of combined scanning tunneling microscopy and atomic force microscopy with two vastly different tips: a bare metal tip and a CO-terminated tip. We use scanning tunneling microscopy data as proposed by Choi et al. [T.

Phase imaging with intermodulation atomic force microscopy
Intermodulation atomic force microscopy (IMAFM) is a dynamic mode of atomic force microscopy (AFM) with two-tone excitation. The oscillating AFM cantilever in close proximity to a surface experiences the nonlinear tip-sample force which mixes the drive ...

Models for quantitative charge imaging by atomic force microscopy [PDF]
Two models are presented for quantitative charge imaging with an atomic-force microscope. The first is appropriate for noncontact mode and the second for intermittent contact (tapping) mode imaging.

Real-space and real-time dynamics of CRISPR-Cas9 visualized by high-speed atomic force microscopy
The CRISPR-associated endonuclease Cas9 binds to a guide RNA and cleaves double-stranded DNA with a sequence complementary to the RNA guide. The Cas9–RNA system has been harnessed for numerous applications, such as genome editing.

Charging of single Si nanocrystals by atomic force microscopy [PDF]
Conducting-tip atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used to electronically probe silicon nanocrystals on an insulating substrate. The nanocrystal samples were produced by aerosol techniques and size classified; nanocrystal size can be controlled in the

Atomic Force Microscopy of Phytosterol Based Edible Oleogels
This work reviews the use of atomic force microscopy (AFM) as a tool to investigate oleogels of edible triglyceride oils. Specific attention is given to those oleogels based on phytosterols and their esters, a class of material the authors have studied ...

Gamble mode: Resonance contact mode in atomic force microscopy [PDF]
Active noise reduction has been accomplished in atomic force microscopy by applying a high frequency, low amplitude vibration to the cantilever while it is in contact with a surface.

Force-gradient sensitive Kelvin probe force microscopy by dissipative electrostatic force modulation [PDF]
We report a Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) implementation using the dissipation signal of a frequency modulation atomic force microscopy that is capable of detecting the gradient of electrostatic force rather than electrostatic force. It features a simple implementation and faster scanning as it requires no low frequency modulation.
