Atomic
Force Microscopy for Biologists (Second Edition)
V.J. Morris, A.R. Kirby and A.P. Gunning
(Pub: Imperial College Press)
 Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is part of a range
of emerging microscopic methods for biologists which offer
the magnification range of both the light and electron
microscope, but allow imaging under the 'natural' conditions
usually associated with the light microscope.
To biologists AFM offers the prospect of high resolution
images of biological material, images of molecules and
their interactions even under physiological conditions,
and the study of molecular processes in living systems.
This book provides a realistic appreciation of the advantages
and limitations of the technique and the present and future
potential for improving the understanding of biological
systems. |
