STM and SFM in Biology is a book dedicated to biological applications of the new technology of scanning probe microscopy (SXM). The scanning/tunnelling microscope (STM) and its first offspring, the scanning force microscope (SFM), resolve surface topography at the atomic scale. They also detect certain electronic and mechanical properties, and perform well in ultra-high vacuum, ambient atmosphere, and aqueous solution environments. Thus, STM and SFM offer powerful tools for biological investigations of nucleic acids, ...

STM and SFM in Biology is a book dedicated to biological applications of the new technology of scanning probe microscopy (SXM). The scanning/tunnelling microscope (STM) and its first offspring, the scanning force microscope (SFM), resolve surface topography at the atomic scale. They also detect certain electronic and mechanical properties, and perform well in ultra-high vacuum, ambient atmosphere, and aqueous solution environments. Thus, STM and SFM offer powerful tools for biological investigations of nucleic acids, proteins, membranes, and living cells.
