Observation of living cells using the atomic force microscope.
We used an atomic force microscope (AFM) to image samples immersed in a fluid in order to study the dynamic behavior of the membranes of living cells. AFM images of cultured cells immersed in a buffer were obtained without any preliminary preparation. We observed surface changes and displacements which suggest that the cells were still alive during the measurements. Some membrane details imaged...
متن کاملNanoscopic lipid domain dynamics revealed by atomic force microscopy.
Intrinsic heterogeneities, represented as domain formations in biological membranes, are important to both the structure and function of the membranes. We observed domain formations in mixed lipid bilayers of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), dilauroylphosphatidylcholine (DLPC), and cholesterol (chol) in a fluid environment using an atomic force microscope (AFM). At room temperature, we de...
متن کاملIn-line Atomic Force Microscope for Semiconductor Process Evaluation
OVERVIEW: To support the coming ubiquitous information society from the bottom up, semiconductor devices must be capable of high-speed processing and low-power consumption. A device structure that satisfies these performance requirements will have to have higher levels of integration as device miniaturization progresses, be capable of high-step-height processing due to multilevel structures, an...
متن کاملDirect observation of a 91 bp LacI-mediated, negatively supercoiled DNA loop by atomic force microscope.
Escherichia coli lactose repressor (LacI), a tetrameric protein, is a paradigmatic transcriptional factor that controls the expression of lacZYA in the lac operon. It specifically binds to the O1, O2, and O3 operators of the lac promoter, forms DNA loops, and regulates transcription of the lac operon. In this article, utilizing combined techniques of DNA-nicking assay and AFM imaging, we direct...
متن کاملForce Spectroscopy with the Atomic Force Microscope
Introduction and Review Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) Spectroscopy is an AFM based technique to measure, and sometimes control the polarity and strength of the interaction between the AFM tip and the sample. Although the tip-sample interaction may be studied in terms of the energy, the quantity that is measured first is always the tip-sample force, and thus the nomenclature: force spectroscopy....
