Lens capsule structure assessed with atomic force microscopy
PURPOSE To image the ultrastructure of the anterior lens capsule at the nanoscale level using atomic force microscopy (AFM). METHODS Experiments were performed on anterior lens capsules maintained in their in situ location surrounding the lens from six human cadavers (donor age range: 44-88 years), four cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis age range: 4.83-8.92 years), and seven pigs (<6 mo...
متن کاملAtomic force microscopy measurements of lens elasticity in monkey eyes
PURPOSE To demonstrate the feasibility of measuring the elasticity of intact crystalline lenses using atomic force microscopy (AFM). METHODS AFM elasticity measurements were performed on intact lenses from 18 fresh cynomolgus monkey cadaver eyes (4-10 years old, <1 day postmortem) that had been left attached to their zonule-ciliary body-sclera framework. The eyes were prepared by bonding a pl...
متن کاملAtomic force microscopy probing of cell elasticity.
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has recently provided the great progress in the study of micro- and nanostructures including living cells and cell organelles. Modern AFM techniques allow solving a number of problems of cell biomechanics due to simultaneous evaluation of the local mechanical properties and the topography of the living cells at a high spatial resolution and force sensitivity. Parti...
متن کاملNeuronal elasticity as measured by atomic force microscopy.
A cell's form and function is determined to a great extent by its cellular membrane and the underlying cytoskeleton. Understanding changes in the cellular membrane and cytoskeleton can provide insight into aging and disease of the cell. The atomic force microscope (AFM) allows unparalled resolution for the imaging of these cellular components and the ability to probe their mechanical properties...
متن کاملStructure and Dynamics of Dinucleosomes Assessed by Atomic Force Microscopy
Dynamics of nucleosomes and their interactions are important for understanding the mechanism of chromatin assembly. Internucleosomal interaction is required for the formation of higher-order chromatin structures. Although H1 histone is critically involved in the process of chromatin assembly, direct internucleosomal interactions contribute to this process as well. To characterize the interactio...
