Here we present a short review of application of atomic force microscopy (AFM) for investigation of viruses, accompanied by examples of high-resolution AFM images of different viral particles. The possibility of using AFM to identify viruses is discussed.
The phenomenal success of atomic force microscopy (AFM) in industry is based on the easy access of samples with practical interest due to the high resolution and high contrast of the method under controllable ambient conditions. In our case, the high resolution of AFM is mainly used in the mesoscale
objects characterized by a circular symmetry show related physical effects. As a denomination for these objects we therefore propose use of the term ΒͺcirculitesΒΊ or circular crystals.
