Friction force microscopy : a simple technique for identifying graphene on rough substrates and mapping the orientation of graphene grains on copper [PDF]
, 2013 At a single atom thick, it is challenging to distinguish graphene from its substrate using conventional techniques. In this paper we show that friction force microscopy (FFM) is a simple and quick technique for identifying graphene on a range of samples,

Atomic force microscopy in ophthalmic surgery
4th IEEE Conference on Nanotechnology, 2004., 2005 Refractive errors are some of the most common ophthalmic abnormalities. The introduction of excimer laser technology in refractive corneal surgery aims to eliminate all or the major part of the first corneal surface optical aberrations through the modelling of the corneal surface.

Accurate and noninvasive prostate cancer detection using plasma‐derived extracellular vesicle RNA
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Plasma extracellular vesicles were captured with WGA‐conjugated magnetic beads and profiled for RNA biomarkers. A three‐RNA panel (NM_024955, NR_047469, and NR_002564) distinguished prostate cancer from healthy controls and benign prostatic hyperplasia, supporting a simple, noninvasive approach to improve prostate cancer detection.

Interpreting motion and force for narrow-band intermodulation atomic force microscopy
Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2013 Intermodulation atomic force microscopy (ImAFM) is a mode of dynamic atomic force microscopy that probes the nonlinear tip–surface force by measurement of the mixing of multiple modes in a frequency comb.

Protocol for quantifying miRNA trafficking across the endosomal membrane
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.An in vitro protocol measures miRNA uptake into endosomes isolated from mammalian cell extracts, which are free of subcellular contaminants. Performed at 37 °C in the presence of ATP, it ensures the import of single‐stranded miRNA into the endosomal lumen.

Chromosome classification by atomic force microscopy volume measurement
, 1996 Historically, metaphase chromosomes have been differentiated (or karyotyped), within a species using chemical banding techniques and optical microscopy. This chemical approach alters the structure of the chromosomes.
