Abstract

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is one of the main methods used to characterize the mechanical properties of soft biological samples and biomaterials at the nanoscale. Experimental studies often require unique modifications of the setup, so it is desirable to make the mechanical part more compact, the electronics – optimal, and the software – more user-friendly. This paper discusses the improvement of the instrumental part of the atomic force microscope for studying objects of various geometries in the contact, resonance, resistive and magnetic microscopy modes.
