Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

Schematic illustration of Friction Force Microscopy (FFM). The AFM cantilever, a small diving board-like structure about 200 micrometers long, 50 micrometers wide, and 1 micrometer thick, has a sharp ...

Escherichia coli bacteria imaged by high-speed inline force mapping and fluorescence microscopy. Simultaneous topography and elastic modulus maps show a stiffening of the division site. Light and ...

Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (KPFM) has emerged as a critical technique for the nanoscale investigation of electrical properties, enabling detailed mapping of surface potential and contact potential ...

Analyzing structures and physicochemical properties of biomolecules is a major field of research in biotechnology. The four major types of biological macromolecules namely, carbohydrate, proteins, ...

Researchers at Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University report in Small Methods the 3D imaging of a suspended nanostructure. The technique used is an extension of atomic force ...

One of the common modes of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) is Magnetic force microscopy (MFM). As indicated by the name, SPM is used to map magnetic properties. On the nanoscale, MFM probes local ...

Current optical and electron microscopy imaging techniques are not suited for measuring the dynamic characteristics of living microorganisms at tiny scales due to complex sample preparation methods or ...

Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) is one of the modes of scanning probe microscopy (SPM). As the name implies, it is used to map magnetic characteristics. MFM investigates the local magnetic fields at ...
