A review on non-contact frequency-modulation AFM and its application in biology
Performance and imaging mode of atomic force microscope(AFM) have been in continuous development and now AFMs are operated in contact mode
tapping mode
or non-contact frequency-modulation mode.A non-contact frequency-modulation AFM achieves high resolution
and the sample distortion is greatly reduced because of the very small interaction force between the tip and sample.In this paper
we give a review on high resolution imaging of non-contact frequency-modulation AFM in vacuum and in physiological condition for better application in biology.Applications of the system in structural biology using the DPPC bilayer and IgM are given as samples.
