Alexandre Berquand, Applications Scientist at Veeco, in partnership with the Pr. Petra Kioshis Group at the Hochschule Mannheim, have published a paper in the March issue of Microscopy Today titled: Analysis of Cytoskeleton-Destabilizing Agents by Optimized Optical Navigation and AFM Force Measurements. (See Link above or Media Section) This paper is

Mechanical properties of cells are determined by the dynamic behavior of the cytoskeleton and physical interactions with the environment. The cytoskeleton, composed of actin filaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules, is vital for numerous key cellular processes, such as cell division, vesicle trafficking, cell contraction, cell motility, and

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has opened exciting new avenues in microbiology and biophysics for probing microbial cells. The unprecedented capabilities of AFM can be summarized as follows: i) imaging surface topography with nanometer lateral resolution and under physiological conditions; ii) measuring local physical properties such as adhesion forces

Microscopic evaluation is important for the design and evaluation of a pharmaceutical product after the steps in the drug formulation process. Since atomic force microscopy (AFM) provides the ability to directly investigate surface structure at nanometer-to-subangstrom resolution in ambient and liquid environments, it has been applied to a wide range
