Since I moved to Instagram, I've been missing discussions with a lot of people. That is why I decided to put the most permanent content also on YouTube. Behold! Please share to grow the community. #AFM #Science #Microscopy

#hectorvstheafm brings you all you need to know about atomic force microscopy (#afm ). Here three papers from 1990 that shaped our understanding of #nature and where the AFM is the shining star.

For those asking, the poster is a grass seed imaged with an #afm. The "trick" is attaching the seeds with double-sided tape and be gentle to not rock them while imaging. Dynamic mode imaging and a stiff probe to sense from far away. #hectorvstheafm

I wonder if anybody has been trying hobby electronics for nano or um accuracy interferometry???

#Laser based #AFM cantilever bending detection demonstrated with #Lego #hectorvstheafm

#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.

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. 😀😃😄😁😆
