About The Product

This first book to focus on all principles and aspects of AFM in liquid phase is perfectly structured, making it easy-to-follow for non-AFM specialists. At the same time, it is an excellent introduction for researchers wishing to use this important technique for evaluating biological material and biological applications.
From the contents:
* AFM: Basic concept
* Dynamic modes in liquids
* Force spectroscopy
* Forces in liquids
* Single molecule force spectroscopy
* High resolution imaging of biological material
* Imaging of force-distance curves
* High speed AFM for observing dynamic processes
* Theory and fundamentals
* Combination of AFM with optical methods
* Biological applications
* Electrochemical AFM
* Manipulation and lithography
An optimum balance for chemists, physicists, materials scientists, and biologists, as well as analytical and medicinal chemists.
