Atomic force
microscopes refer to the scanning probe microscopes that are designed
to measure several properties such as height, magnetism and friction
with the help of a probe. This type of microscope measures the local
property simultaneously by scanning the probe over a small area of
the sample. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) shares its key components
with the scanning microscopy except for the probe tip. Typically
atomic force microscopes operate in three basic modes namely contact,
noncontact and tapping mode. Contact mode monitors the interaction
forces in the sample as the cantilever tip is in contact with the
sample. When there is a need for measurement of attributes such as
magnetic or electric or atomic forces of the sample then noncontact
mode is adopted that involves the slight movement of cantilever over
the sample surface and oscillating cantilever near its natural
resonance frequency. However, tapping mode of operation represents
the combination of both contact and noncontact modes.

Atomic force
microscopy represents improved resolution microscopy technique that
enables the production of precise topographic images of the sample
with the help of a nanometer scale probe that facilitates the
scanning of the sample surface. One of the unique advantages of AFM
is that it permits imaging with minimal sample preparation in two
environments such as air and water. AFM facilitates the visualization
of single biomolecules, tissues and live cells at a high (nanoscale)
resolution without drying or coating them. Unlike conventional
microscopes these do not use lenses and hence the size of the probe
generally limits their resolution.
Owing to the ability
of high resolution imaging of the biological samples without
disrupting their structures and its versatility, AFM has several
application areas such as advanced biological research, materials and
surface science, nanomanipulation and nanolithography and others.
There has been continuous evolution of these devices and resulting in
improved performance of these devices along with expansion of the
application areas. For instance, technological advances include the
introduction of atomic force microscopy with the capacity of high
speed imaging, optically guided spectroscopy also it enables the
mapping of individual microbial cell wall structures at a
nanomechanical level. This represents the increasing applications of
these devices in microbiological research i.e. it enables the study
of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and fungi. Also, there
are several technical and procedural upgradations that render
improved application of these devices in analysis of DNA molecules.
Hence, these illustrations promise impressive growth and acceptance
of atomic force microscopes.
