Life at the Nanoscale by Yves Dufrene Book PDF Summary
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the use of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and related scanning probe microscopies for cell surface analysis, going from the basics to the applications side. It covers all cell types, going from viruses and protoplasts to bacteria and animal cells and to discuss a range of advanced AFM modalities, including high-resolution imaging, nanoindentation measurements, recognition imaging, and single-molecule and single-cell force spectroscopy. The book covers methodologies for preparing and analyzing cells and membranes of all kinds and highlights recent examples to illustrate the power of AFM techniques in life sciences and nanomedicine.
