High Resolution Imaging with the BioScope Catalyst

AFM provides many advantages for high resolution studies of single biomolecules. With a high signal to noise ratio, the elimination of the need for coating, staining, or crystallization of a sample, and the ability to operate in fluid, AFM facilitates the study of biomolecules under near-physiological conditions in real-time and in situ. From single molecules to live cells, the Bruker BioScope Catalyst provides high resolution imaging of biological samples across all biomolecular size scales. The mechanical stability of the Catalyst when integrated with an inverted optical microscope allows researchers to take advantage of many of the features of this AFM, including PeakForce Tapping and PeakForce QNM imaging modes, a small volume flow cell, MIRO image overlay software capabilities, as well as the environmental control afforded by the sample stage heater and Perfusion Stage Incubator (PSI) which opens the door to a wide-range of unique high resolution imaging experiments. From nucleic acids and proteins to protein assemblies and membranes, this webinar will present several examples of how high resolution imaging conducted with the BioScope Catalyst provides researchers with key opportunities to investigate biomolecules and biomolecular processes at the single molecule level.

• The BioScope Catalyst provides life science researchers with the ability to study biological species across a wide-range of size scales

• The highest quality engineering and mechanical stability makes the BioScope Catalyst ideally suited for obtaining high resolution, three-dimensional images of individual biomolecules and small biomolecular complexes

• Key features of the BioScope Catalyst, including PeakForce Tapping, a small volume flow cell, MIRO image overlay software capabilities, and the Perfusion Stage Incubator (PSI) provides researchers with unique opportunities to investigate biomolecules and biomolecular processes at the single molecule level
