Global Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) Market Size, Competition Landscape and Supply Chain Research Report 2025

Research Summary

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a powerful imaging and measurement technique used to visualize and characterize surfaces at the nanoscale. In AFM, a sharp probe, typically a few nanometers in diameter, is scanned across the surface of a sample. As the probe interacts with the surface, forces between the probe tip and sample surface cause the probe to deflect. These deflections are measured using a laser beam reflected off the back of the probe, allowing precise determination of the surface topography and mechanical properties of the sample. AFM can provide high-resolution images of surface features with atomic or near-atomic resolution, making it a valuable tool for studying a wide range of materials, including semiconductors, polymers, biological samples, and nanoparticles. Additionally, AFM can measure surface properties such as roughness, adhesion, stiffness, and friction, offering insights into the behavior of materials at the nanoscale. AFM is widely used in research, materials science, biology, and nanotechnology for its versatility and ability to provide detailed information about surface structures and properties.
