Abstract

High-resolution imaging of soft biological samples with atomic force microscopy (AFM) is challenging because they must be imaged with small forces to prevent deformation. Typically, AFM of those samples is performed with soft silicon cantilevers (k approximate to 0.1-10 N/m) and optical detection in a liquid environment. We set up a new microscope that uses a stiff qPlus sensor (k >= 1 kN/m). ...
