NSOM
• Incident radiation is illuminated through aperture
• Sample is closer to opaque screen than one
wavelength of light • Opaque screen must be thick enough to stop
all light from being detected

Atomic Mass Microscopy, History
• Early 1980’s- Binning and Rohrer propose scanning tunneling microscope (STM), win Nobel Prize. First attempt at imaging biological molecules with STM
• 1986- Binning, Quate, and Gerber invent
scanning force microscope (SFM) • Early 1990’s- Keller, Shong, and Putman
invent tapping mode AFM

General Principles of Atomic Force Microscopy
![Page 7: Atomic Force Microscopy - Union Collegeminerva.union.edu/newmanj/Physics200/AFM.pdf · Atomic Mass Microscopy, History • Early 1980’s- Binning and Rohrer propose scanning tunneling](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050111/5f489e0dbc4d9e754c7d8f42/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Tip
Φ= Angle at bottom of picture
Rc= radius shown Ideal tip has Φ and Rc as small as possible
![Page 8: Atomic Force Microscopy - Union Collegeminerva.union.edu/newmanj/Physics200/AFM.pdf · Atomic Mass Microscopy, History • Early 1980’s- Binning and Rohrer propose scanning tunneling](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050111/5f489e0dbc4d9e754c7d8f42/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Material of Tip
Carbon Nanotubes are best material
Are made of SP2
Carbon Molecules, which makes them flexible enough to avoid damage, but slender enough to get into narrow areas
![Page 9: Atomic Force Microscopy - Union Collegeminerva.union.edu/newmanj/Physics200/AFM.pdf · Atomic Mass Microscopy, History • Early 1980’s- Binning and Rohrer propose scanning tunneling](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050111/5f489e0dbc4d9e754c7d8f42/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Spring Constant of Atoms vs. Cantilever
If Cantilever has higher spring constant than atoms in a molecule, the force would break the molecule apart. eg. a chisel cracking ice
The smaller the interaction between
the sample and the tip of the cantilever, the better
Katom= ω2m ω in atom generally 1013Hz
Katom= (1013Hz)2(10-25kg) Katom= 10Nm-1 roughly Spring constant of aluminum foil 4mm long and 1mm wide is 1Nm-1
![Page 10: Atomic Force Microscopy - Union Collegeminerva.union.edu/newmanj/Physics200/AFM.pdf · Atomic Mass Microscopy, History • Early 1980’s- Binning and Rohrer propose scanning tunneling](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050111/5f489e0dbc4d9e754c7d8f42/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Contact (constant force) mode
Tip is always in contact with sample. When incident laser beam angle changes, cantilever moves to make it go back.
Cantilever movement is measured,
sample can be imaged from known cantilever height changes
![Page 11: Atomic Force Microscopy - Union Collegeminerva.union.edu/newmanj/Physics200/AFM.pdf · Atomic Mass Microscopy, History • Early 1980’s- Binning and Rohrer propose scanning tunneling](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050111/5f489e0dbc4d9e754c7d8f42/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Oscillation (tapping) Mode
Tip “vibrates” up and down so it is only in contact with sample for short periods of time
Height of Cantilever is measured just like in contact force mode, but distance it moves down is measured instead of distance moved up
![Page 12: Atomic Force Microscopy - Union Collegeminerva.union.edu/newmanj/Physics200/AFM.pdf · Atomic Mass Microscopy, History • Early 1980’s- Binning and Rohrer propose scanning tunneling](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050111/5f489e0dbc4d9e754c7d8f42/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Imaging by AFM ● ● Requires the binding of the
sample to the surface be stronger than the contact interaction between the top and the sample.
○ Increasing the attachment
of the sample to the substrate
○ Reduce the tip-sample

Dynamics of Biological System
• Use the AFM to follow biological processes at the molecular level. • Time-lapse sequence of the digestion of a DNA fragment by BAL 31
nuclease. • As the DNA is digested, it disappears from the image,leaving an
increasingly large gap in the molecule.

Biological Processes
• DNA transcription can be observed over time using AFM. • Adhesion of DNA to mica is adjusted through adjusting the Zn2+
