Click here Is there an AFM in your future? We can help. What we can do for you: What you can't see can hurt you. Device, product, or material performance is affected by characteristics such as surface finish, and the size, shape, and position of fabricated features and material domains. We use Atomic Force Microscopy to capture high resolution, three-dimensional images of the surface structure of any solid. In addition to recording the microscopic shape of the surface, the AFM can sense material properties such as stiffness, adhesion, and friction as well as magnetic and electric fields. This gives you information to improve process quality, speed product development and enhance research. What used to be unknown, and therefore uncontrolled, is now within your grasp.
How AFM Works The content of this page is reproduced from The tipsample interaction in atomic force microscopy and its implications for biological applications , Ph.D http://stm2.nrl.navy.mil/how-afm/how-afm.html
Extractions: General concept and defining characteristics of AFM References The atomic force microscope is one of about two dozen types of scanned-proximity probe microscopes. All of these microscopes work by measuring a local property - such as height, optical absorption, or magnetism - with a probe or "tip" placed very close to the sample. The small probe-sample separation (on the order of the instrument's resolution) makes it possible to take measurements over a small area. To acquire an image the microscope raster-scans the probe over the sample while measuring the local property in question. The resulting image resembles an image on a television screen in that both consist of many rows or lines of information placed one above the other. Unlike traditional microscopes, scanned-probe systems do not use lenses, so the size of the probe rather than diffraction effects generally limit their resolution.

Elasticity Microscopy Imaging Biomedical Ultrasonics Laboratory at the University of Michigan http://bul.eecs.umich.edu/research/elast_micro/
Extractions: SUPPORT: An elasticity microscope images tissue stiffness at fine resolution. Possible applications include dermatology, ophthalmology, pathology and tissue engineering, especially if the resolution of these images can approach cellular dimensions. Elasticity images are reconstructed from displacements and strains measured throughout the specimen during controlled external loading. We use high frequency ultrasound to obtain these images by tracking coherent speckle motion during deformation. We also present methods that deal with speckle decorrelation caused by limited depth of field from a single element, focused transducer. Our 50 MHz elasticity microscope tests the methods by imaging axial displacement and normal axial strain fields in a tissue mimicking phantom. These results demonstrate the potential of elasticity microscopy. Ultimately, we would like to move to even higher frequencies, and improved resolution. This is the experimental setup.

Extractions: Other objectives include the detection of squamous epithelial cells (originating from the periphery of the urinary tract ) indicating contamination of the specimen, and presence of organisms, casts and crystals. The traditional method of microscopy was either a wet film or gram stain from a centrifuged urine deposit, this is a time consuming method and the consistency of concentration from one specimen to the next is difficult to reproduce accurately. Other methods used include using a Fuchs-Rosenthal or Neubauer counting chamber but this provides a higher degree of accuracy than is needed for routine urine microscopy. It would be unrealistic for a busy laboratory, processing maybe 200-300 urines a day, to use this method routinely as it is very labour intensive, requiring each chamber to be cleaned after use.
Extractions: Introduction to Fluorescence Microscopy The entire student laboratory handout for this lab is presented below. You may scroll down or select a specific part (underlined below). The instructions are tailored to specific equipment, cells and fluorescent probes, but they could be modified for other probes and different cell preparations. Background on fluorescence microscopy Cells Notes and precautions DiOC6 - intracellular membranes, primarily the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria ... Back to Cell Biology Home Page Background on Fluorescence Microscopy Fluorescence microscopy is used to detect structures, molecules or proteins within the cell. Fluorescent molecules absorb light at one wavelength and emit light at another, longer wavelength. When fluorescent molecules absorb a specific absorption wavelength for an electron in a given orbital, the electron rises to a higher energy level (the excited) state. Electrons in this state are unstable and will return to the ground state, releasing energy in the form of light and heat. This emission of energy is fluorescence. Because some energy is lost as heat, the emitted light contains less energy and therefore is a longer wavelength than the absorbed (or excitation) light. In fluorescence microscopy, a cell is stained with a dye and the dye is illuminated with filtered light at the absorbing wavelength; the light emitted from the dye is viewed through a filter that allows only the emitted wavelength to be seen. The dye glows brightly against a dark background because only the emitted wavelength is allowed to reach the eyepieces or camera port of the microscope. Most microscopes are designed using epi-illumination. In epi-illumination excitation, light goes through the objective lens and illuminates the object. Light emitted from the specimen is collected by the same objective lens.
