#Laser and #afm , #hectorvstheafm brings you three things you probably didn't knew. Thanks to the book "Lab on a tip".

#hectorvstheafm The first atomic force microscope ( #AFM ) used an #STM to detect the bending of the cantilever and in this way achieved atomic resolution on non conductive samples. #science is cool and #Lego is fun.

Totally agree @bittner-ass.bsky.social knowing STM or tunneling is not needed to understand AFM, but it doesn't hurt either, and helps explanning AFM from a historical point of view.

Image competition at #FyT2025 is going quite strong. Very nice examples of AFM data.

This week I will join my SPECS Surface Nano Analysis GmbH colleagues at the Forces and tunnel #fyt2025 in Oviedo. As usual when I travel to Spain, I use the opportunity to shop for good books. #AFM #microscopy Agustina Asenjo José Miguel García-Martín Pedro A. Serena

Today is a special day. I'm training my sister to do AFM. We studied physics together (she is younger, but clever than me, so she got promoted one year ahead), but after that, we took diferent roads. Today these different paths in life merge a bit.

Got re-united again with one of my 3D-printed probes. #AFM

I will be at #MMC in Manchester with some #AFM stickers, first arrived, first served!
Also, do you have pictures of the tweezers you regularly use? Do you mind sharing the pictures with me?

If you know what this is, like but don't reveal it to others. 😀😃😄😁😆

Scary how fast #AI improves nowadays. Soon #AFM will not be the same anymore.

Then something I'm testing (and falling in love for), the point cloud representation.

Got a random chip of Aliexpress. No idea what I will find. A nice source of samples to do tests of #AFM imaging? Even a #fridayAFM?

The big question is... should I share the talk here? It is about AFM artefacts in published papers. I might be left without friends If I do. 😅 Maybe I share it after a bit of censoring.

2. First I operate the AFM inside of my head, and only when I understand how, and why, it behaves the way it does, I try to replicate it it operating the machine in front of me.
