Atomic Force Microscope
and its potential use in
biology
Scanning Probe Microscopy
STM: scanning tunneling microscope
tunneling of electrons between probe and surface
AFM: atomic force microscope
measuring of the force on the probe tip
OFM: Optical force microscope
measuring of the force on the optically trapped particle

Challenges of the STM
1. Works primarily with conducting materials
2. Vibrational interference
3. Contamination
•Physical (dust and other pollutants in the air)
•Chemical (chemical reactivity)
AFM: Atomic Force Microscope
• The AFM brings a probe in
close proximity to the surface
• The force is detected by the
deflection of a spring, usually
a cantilever (diving board)
• Forces between the probe
tip and the sample are
sensed to control the
distance between the the tip
and the sample.

Scanning the Sample
Tip brought within nanometers of
the sample (van der Waals)
 Radius of tip limits the accuracy
of analysis/ resolution
 Stiffer cantilevers protect against
sample damage because they
deflect less in response to a small
force
Scanning Modes
1. Contact (Repulsive force)
At short probe-sample distances, the
forces are repulsive
2. non-contact (Attractive Force )
• At large probe-sample distances, the
forces are attractive
• The AFM cantilever can be used to
measure both attractive force mode
and repulsive forces.
3. Tapping mode (vibrating mode)
• Better resolution
• Minimal damage to sample
van der Waals
force curve
1. Contact Mode
 Contact mode operates
in the repulsive regime of
the van der Waals curve
 Tip attached to
cantilever with low spring
constant (lower than
effective spring constant
binding the atoms of the
sample together).
 In ambient conditions
there is also a capillary
force exerted by the thin
water layer present
(2-50 nm thick).
van der Waals
force curve
2. Non-Contact Mode
Uses attractive forces to
interact surface with tip
Operates within the van
der Waal radii of the atoms
Oscillates cantilever near its
resonant frequency (~ 200
kHz) to improve sensitivity
Advantages over contact:
no lateral forces, non-
destructive/no
contamination to sample,
etc.

3. Force Measurements In Real Solvent Environments
4. Antibody-Antigen Binding Studies
5. Ligand-Receptor Binding Studies
6. Binding Forces Of Complimentary DNA Strands

Atomic Force Microscope and its potential use in biology

  • 1. - Sudhir K Shukla Journal club presentation Atomic Force Microscope and its potential use in biology
  • 2. Scanning Probe Microscopy STM: scanning tunneling microscope tunneling of electrons between probe and surface AFM: atomic force microscope measuring of the force on the probe tip OFM: Optical force microscope measuring of the force on the optically trapped particle MFM: magnetic force microscope AFM with magnetical probe y x
  • 3. STM: scanning tunneling microscope nA R piezo- element e- e- e- e- e- e- e- e- e- < 1nm tunneling of electrons through air between probe and surface only conducting material probe x-y stage
  • 4. STM: scanning tunneling microscope Icontrol piezo-element (changes length at different voltages) nA Itip ∆I R ∆I -> ∆V transfer
  • 5. Challenges of the STM 1. Works primarily with conducting materials 2. Vibrational interference 3. Contamination •Physical (dust and other pollutants in the air) •Chemical (chemical reactivity)
  • 6. AFM: Atomic Force Microscope • The AFM brings a probe in close proximity to the surface • The force is detected by the deflection of a spring, usually a cantilever (diving board) • Forces between the probe tip and the sample are sensed to control the distance between the the tip and the sample. van der Waals force curve
  • 7. AFM probe scans over the surface e.g. living cells, chromatin fibers laser photodiode piezo-element probe AFM: how it works feedback
  • 8. AFM: how it works cantilever tip laser cantilever piezo y z x photodiode
  • 9. Scanning the Sample Tip brought within nanometers of the sample (van der Waals)  Radius of tip limits the accuracy of analysis/ resolution  Stiffer cantilevers protect against sample damage because they deflect less in response to a small force
  • 10. Scanning Modes 1. Contact (Repulsive force) At short probe-sample distances, the forces are repulsive 2. non-contact (Attractive Force ) • At large probe-sample distances, the forces are attractive • The AFM cantilever can be used to measure both attractive force mode and repulsive forces. 3. Tapping mode (vibrating mode) • Better resolution • Minimal damage to sample van der Waals force curve
  • 11. 1. Contact Mode  Contact mode operates in the repulsive regime of the van der Waals curve  Tip attached to cantilever with low spring constant (lower than effective spring constant binding the atoms of the sample together).  In ambient conditions there is also a capillary force exerted by the thin water layer present (2-50 nm thick). van der Waals force curve
  • 12. 2. Non-Contact Mode Uses attractive forces to interact surface with tip Operates within the van der Waal radii of the atoms Oscillates cantilever near its resonant frequency (~ 200 kHz) to improve sensitivity Advantages over contact: no lateral forces, non- destructive/no contamination to sample, etc. van der Waals force curve
