Does the Scanning Force Microsope Resolve Individual Lipid Molecules?

  • Conference paper
The Structure and Conformation of Amphiphilic Membranes

Part of the book series: Springer Proceedings in Physics ((SPPHY,volume 66))

Abstract

The invention of the Scanning Force Microscope has opened new ways of addressing the unique properties of lipid membranes in aqueous environment. In addition to structural information certain micromcchanical properties can be accessed on the molecular level. Here we will discuss certain aspects of the imaging process and the forces involved.
