Enhance your research capabilities with AFM: eBooks from BrukerNano
Recognition of the crucial role that nanomechanical properties play in the structure and function of biological systems is growing steadily. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), a high-resolution surface analysis technique, has emerged as a key platform for the multiparametric quantification of these properties in samples ranging from individual cells and molecules to tissues and biomaterials.
Learn more about AFM with these comprehensive eBooks from BrukerNano that take you from the basics to an overview of new, innovative approaches and novel applications that can enhance your research capabilities.
This eBook provides a concise overview of new, innovative approaches and novel applications that highlight the potential of correlative microscopy for multi-level analysis. It is ideal for microscopy enthusiasts, experts and non-experts alike, as well as those new to AFM or wishing to explore new techniques to enhance their research capabilities.
