AFM BIO
General information
The instrument allows topological images of biological samples, e.g. tissues and cells. It can be used as a nano-manipulation instrument, allowing modifications of the morphology of a substrate.
Technical description
The AFM allows maximum analysable lateral dimensions of 100 µm x 100 µm, a maximum height of 10 µm and features a cantilever holder for conduction measurements. The microscope features magnification factors of 5x, 10x, 20x, 40x and maximum movements in the XY stage of 10 mm x 10 mm.
Research areas and applications
Topographical analysis pf solid substrates and biological samples in liquid, nanolithography of rigid substrates, nanostimulation of cells.
