Ultrahigh-resolution imaging of water networks by atomic force microscopy
Local defects in water layers growing on metal surfaces have a key influence on the wetting process at the surfaces; however, such minor structures are undetectable by macroscopic methods. Here, we demonstrate ultrahigh-resolution imaging of single water layers on a copper(110) surface by using non-contact atomic force microscopy (AFM) with molecular functionalized tips at 4.8 K. AFM with a pro...
متن کاملImaging of viruses by atomic force microscopy.
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used to image a variety of virus particles in vitro and could, conceivably, be used as a useful diagnostic for their presence, their structural characterization and even their identification. Virus particles can be imaged by AFM in air, under alcohol or in physiological medium, and accurate measurements of their dimensions obtained. In addition, the appear...
متن کاملImaging the surface of Staphylococcus aureus by atomic force microscopy.
The surfaces of four strains of Staphylococcus aureus, which differed in their expression of capsular polysaccharides, were examined using atomic force microscopy. The images show that it is possible to get information about surface characteristics of S. aureus using atomic force microscopy (AFM) following simple preparation. Strains Smith Diffuse (serotype 2), Reynolds (serotype 5), Wood-46 (c...
متن کاملLimits of Resolution in Atomic Force Microscopy
We calculate the limits of atomic resolution of an atomic force microscope (AFM) tip probing the elastic surfa«e of graphite. Interaction energies between a «sharp" Pd tip with one apex atom and graphite are obtained from ab initio total energy calculations within the density functional formalism. The effect of long-range Van der Waals forces on the tip-substrate interaction is considered expli...
متن کاملHigh Resolution Image with Multi-wall Carbon Nanotube Atomic Force Microscopy Tip (RESEARCH NOTE)
In this paper, a simple and reproducible approach for attaching the multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) to the apex of the atomic force microscope probe has been proposed. For this purpose, the dielectrophoresis method was applied due to its simple performance, cheapness and reliability. In this method, various parameters such as voltage, frequency, concentration of carbon nanotubes solution an...
