چکیده
The highlight of the past year is the unfolding and refolding of the muscle protein titin in the atomic force microscope. A related highlight in the intersection between experiment and theory is a recent review of the effects of molecular forces on biochemical kinetics. Other advances in scanning probe microscopy include entropic brushes, molecular sandwiches and applications of atomic force microscopy to gene therapy.

High-Yield Assembly of Individual Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Tips for Scanning Probe Microscopies
The structural and mechanical properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) make them ideal tips for scanning probe microscopies such as atomic force microscopy (AFM). However, the ideal nanotube probe, which corresponds to an individual SWNT, has been difficult to produce in high yield. To overcome this difficulty, a straightforward and easily implemented method that enables very high-y...
متن کاملTwo-Photon Microscopy for Deep Tissue Imaging of Living Specimens
Introduction Two-photon microscopy (2PM) provides threedimensional (3D) and four-dimensional (4D) (x, y, z, t) imaging in living specimens or under experimental physiological conditions very close to live. In conjunction with fluorescent labels, 2PM provides a powerful means of investigating the relationships between structure and function at the microscopic level that are key to understanding ...

متن کاملApplication Note #139 AFM and Raman Spectroscopy —Correlated Imaging and Tip Enhanced Raman Scattering
understand complex systems and better engineer their functions has been driving scanning probe microscopies since their inception (see figure 1). Both atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Raman spectroscopy are techniques used to gather information about the surface properties and chemical information of a sample. There are many reasons to combine these two technologies, and this application note ...
متن کاملScanning Force Microscopies Can Image Patterned Self-Assembled Monolayers
This paper demonstrates that scanning probe microscopies (SPMs) can image patterned self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) formed by microcontact printing. Lateral force microscopy (LFM) and force modulation microscopy (FMM) showed contrast between regions of patterned SAMs terminated by different chemical functionalities. Normal force microscopy (NFM) typically showed less contrast than LFM or FMM b...
