The AFM platform enables not only entirely co-localized AFM-Raman measurements but also fully integrated usage of confocal Raman microscopy and AFM for Tip-Enhanced Optical Spectroscopies (such as Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS) and Tip-Enhanced PhotoLuminescence (TEPL)).
An effective method, atomic force microscopy (AFM) allows for the imaging of nearly any surface, including polymers, ceramics, composites, glass, and biological samples. Adhesion strength, magnetic forces, and mechanical properties are just a few of the various forces that may be measured and localised with AFM.
Images and profiles of the surface roughness can be obtained using the AFM technology to learn more about the topography of a surface. First, using this method, pores can be found based on their size. Moreover, surface flaws can be seen and their profiles can be tracked.
The Global AFM Optical Platform Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
JPK Introduces the OT-AFM Combi-System, the First Combining Optical Tweezers and Atomic Force Microscopy System in the World.
The first combined system to offer optical tweezers and atomic force microscopy on a single inverted light microscope platform has been released by PK Instruments, a global leader in the manufacturing of nanoanalytic apparatus for study in the biological sciences and soft matter.
JPK has combined the technologies on a single inverted light microscope platform based on years of leadership in the domains of atomic force microscopy and optical tweezers for applications in nanotechnology for life science.
The OT-AFM Combi-System combines the outstanding surface force measurement and imaging capabilities of AFM with the capacity of optical tweezers to apply and measure the lowest forces in three dimensions.
The novel coupling of OT’s 3D positioning, detection, and manipulation with AFM’s high-resolution imaging and surface property characterization opens up a completely new range of applications. Users now have access to new applications.
A few examples of what can be studied with the new OT-AFM platform include cellular response, cell-cell or cell matrix interactions, immunological response, infection, or bacterial/viral/nanoparticle absorption mechanisms.
The gold standard for live cell applications has been established by JPK using its tested AFM and OT core technologies in conjunction with fluorescence microscopy.
