Adhesion forces and capillary interactions play a crucial role in various applications of atomic force microscopy (AFM), particularly in understanding how materials interact at the nanoscale.

Schematic illustration of Friction Force Microscopy (FFM). The AFM cantilever, a small diving board-like structure about 200 micrometers long, 50 micrometers wide, and 1 micrometer thick, has a sharp ...

Atomic force microscopy is a subset of scanning probe microscopy. The Veeco Dimension 3000 operates in both tapping and contact modes, with capabilities of topographic and phase imaging, lateral force ...

The team employed liquid AFM to acquire the morphology and force spectroscopy data of both live and dead bacteria. Subsequent processing of the force spectroscopy data enabled the extraction of ...
