Cell and tissue biology Imaging Infographics Molecular biology

In this infographic, we dive into how atomic force microscopy (AFM) works, the technical features one must consider and how it can be implemented for biomechanical investigation.

AFM provides high-speed structural imaging and nanomechanical measurements to enable crucial insights into the relationship between structure, morphology and function at the cellular and molecular level, both in normal and diseased states.
