TL;DR: Reproducible images of uncoated DNA in the atomic force microscope (AFM) have been obtained by imaging plasmid DNA on mica in n-propanol by increasing the force applied by the AFM tip at selected locations.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new contrast mechanism relies on variation in the surface elasticity of a carbon fiber and epoxy composite is used to reveal contrast between the two materials, and a lateral modulation mode is employed to highlight atomic steps in gold.

TL;DR: The atomic force microscope (AFM) was used to image an electrode surface at atomic resolution while the electrode was under potential control in a fluid electrolyte and revealed that the underpotential-deposited monolayer has different structures in different electrolytes.

TL;DR: In this article, the energy dissipated by the tip-sample interaction was measured by measuring such quantities as oscillation amplitude, frequency, phase shift and drive amplitude, which is applicable to a variety of scanning probe microscopes operating in different dynamic modes.

TL;DR: In this article, a solid immersion lens (SIL) was used to focus a laser beam (λ =442 nm) in a photoresist, which was mounted on a flexible cantilever and scanned by a modified commercial atomic force microscope.
