Today we're looking at Atomic Force Microscopy! I built a "macro-AFM" to demonstrate the principles of an atomic force microscope, then we look at a real AFM (an nGauge AFM from ICSPI) and do a few ...

New research led by the University of Liverpool in collaboration with the University of New South Wales (Sydney, Australia) ...

Celestron Labs’ CB2000C Advanced Biological Microscope is a mid-priced instrument that boasts a wealth of professional features, such as 40X to 2000X magnification, stereo imagery, trinocular ...

The surface elasticity of the gels was determined by AFM nanoindentation analysis. The migratory behavior of MSCs and embedded fluorescence beads on the gels were monitored using an automated ...

Finally, the results obtained by traction force microscopy (Figure 3) were analyzed to quantify the cell total traction forces (Figure 4). The average total traction force of VSMCs in the control ...

Methods like traction force microscopy have been used for over a decade to indirectly measure the forces cells exert on their in vitro microenvironment. (17) These methods often rely on the ...

SAENOPY is a free open source 3D traction force microscopy (TFM) software. Its material model is especially well suited for tissue-mimicking and typically highly non-linear biopolymer matrices such as ...

Abstract: Detecting cell traction forces using conventional traction force microscopy (TFM) and fluorescence coated micro-pillars requires imaging using high magnification (60×) lenses for precise ...

Over the past few decades, various methods have been successfully developed for measuring cellular adhesive forces. Currently, several leading technologies such as traction force microscopy (TFM), ...

Currently, several leading technologies such as traction force microscopy (TFM), optical/magnetic tweezers, and molecular tension-based fluorescence microscopy (MTFM) are widely used for measuring ...

Traction force microscopy was utilized for monitoring the force loaded on the substrate in the axon outgrowth. In this method, the traction force is observed as displacement of the fluoresce ...
