Stm and Sfm in Biology

STM and SFM in Biologyis a book fully dedicated to biological applications of the new technology of scanning probe microscopy (SX). The scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and its first off-spring, the scanning force microscope (SFM), resolve surface topography at the atomic scale. They also detect certain electronic and mechanical properties, and perform well in ultrahigh 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.Marti, Othmar is the author of 'Stm and Sfm in Biology', published 1993 under ISBN 9780124745001 and ISBN 0124745008.
