There is another way to investigate the domain of the very small: an atomic force microscope. Unlike their electron spewing brothers, they don’t require high voltages or hard vacuums.

The scanning tunneling microscope, which Binnig had co-invented 4 years earlier, provided atomic resolution without the need for ultra-low temperatures. But it relied on an electric current flowing ...

[Andres] is working with an Atomic Force Microscope, a device that drags a small needle across a surface to produce an image with incredible resolution. The AFM can produce native .STL files ...

Today we're looking at Atomic Force Microscopy! I built a "macro-AFM" to demonstrate the principles of an atomic force ...

The Agilent 5500 AFM/SPM microscope offers numerous unique features ... facilitates advanced applications solutions. It offers atomic resolution and is ideal for electrochemistry, polymers ...

The Agilent 5500 inverted light microscope (ILM) system combines the power of a high-resolution atomic force microscope with the direct optical viewing capability of an inverted optical microscope.

The tip's position is meticulously adjusted using piezoelectric controls to maintain a constant tunneling current, allowing the device to image surfaces with atomic precision. Scanning Tunneling ...

In their experiments, the tip of an atomic force microscope stands in for an individual point of roughness on engine surfaces. The tip also provides data on the amount of force necessary to break ...

Scanning tunneling microscope (STM) - using the tunneling current I between the outermost atom of a conducting probe within an atomic distance from a substrate to map out the sample topography and ...
