About
How do you see the invisible? Today, mechanical, electrical, chemical and biological engineering of ‘small worlds’ is revolutionising our lives. Atomic Force Microscopes are an important tool when creating engineering solutions on the micro and nano scale. The 4 video tracks on this album examine the AFM's engineering and operation, explain how it can be adapted for a wide range of applications and describe its use in the life sciences and semiconductor industries. This material forms part of T356 Engineering Small Worlds – Micro and Nano Technologies.
Types of tip
A wide range of applications: companies that specialise in scanning probe microscopy use different types of tip to create atomic resolution images.
Semiconductor Industry
Imaging large samples. How to get precise dimensions of any surface. The AFM uses specially designed tips that are replaced automatically.
Life Science Applications
Cancer Research. Looking at materials under fluid. Force Distance Spectroscopy explained and demonstrated.
