The atomic force microscope (AFM) is not only a tool to image the topography of solid
surfaces at high resolution. It can also be used to measure force-versus-distance curves …

Written by three leading experts in the field, this book describes and explains all essential
aspects of scanning probe microscopy. Emphasis is placed on the experimental design and …

Two methods—attenuated total reflection Fourier infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and X-
ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)—have been used to analyze the chemical structure of …

Over the last century, medicine has come out of the" black bag" and emerged as one of the
