Abstract
The atomic force microscope (AFM, also referred to as the scanning force microscope, SFM) generates images of samples by measuring force interactions between the sample and a small, sharp tip on the end of a flexible cantilever. The general nature of this method permits the investigator to examine a large variety of sample types, including biological specimens. This review will focus on the application of AFM to imaging living cells.
