Atomic Force Microscopy for Biologists. This item is unavailable.Atomic Force Microscopy for Biologists

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is part of a range of emerging microscopic methods for biologists which offer the magnification range of both the light and electron microscope, but allow imaging under the 'natural' conditions usually associated with the light microscope. To biologists AFM offers the prospect of high resolution images of biological material, images of molecules and their interactions even under physiological conditions, and the study of molecular processes in living systems. This book provides a realistic appreciation of the advantages and limitations of the technique and the present and future potential for improving the understanding of biological systems.

...strongly recommend this book to any biologist who carry out research using SPM imaging techniques... -- Drew Murray, Veeco Instruments, Cambridge, UK

It provides an excellent survey of novel applications...accessible to students/scientists who do not have a strong physics background -- Prof Y F Dufrene, UCL, Belgium

easy to read with clear, simple explanations of a complex topic -- Microscopy and Analysis, Jan 2001

fills an important niche by providing an introduction to AFM that will be understandable to a wide range of scientists -- Nature Cell Biology, Vol2, Dec 2000
