Using Atomic Force Microscopy to Non-Destructively Image Surface of Biological Cell

Atomic force microscopy, a tactile-based probe technique, provides a three-dimensional nanoscale image of a material by gliding a needle-like arm across the material's surface. The core of AFM imaging workhorse is a cantilever with a sharp tip that deflects as it encounters undulations across a surface.

Super Strong Carbon Tip Suited to AFM's and data Storage Applications

German and US researchers have produced a super-sharp, strong, and resilient carbon tip that has earned top place as the industry's current benchmark. Funded by the EU, the diamond-like tip is 3,000 times more wear-resistant at the nanoscale than a silicon oxide tip, making it ideal for use in atomic imaging, probe-based data storage, and other emerging applications.
