The conditions necessary for studying biological molecules with the atomic force microscope are discussed. It is shown that in order to avoid large substrate deformations the microscope should be operated in its attractive mode where the van der Waals force between the tip and the substrate is z IO-

The substructure and responses of individual 100-nm synaptic vesicles to osmotic stress have been probed with an atomic force microscope (AFM) operating in tapping mode. Cholinergic synaptic vesicles from the electric organ of Torpedo californica were imaged continuously as the osmolarity of the buf
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) permits one to generate a topographic representation of the sample under investigation with high spatial resolution. We assumed that cytochemical staining techniques, which yield reaction products which can be discriminated from the surrounding material on basis of thei
