This paper describes the characterization and application of electrically insulated conductive tips mounted on a cantilever for use in an atomic force microscope and operated in liquid. These multifunctional probes were microfabricated and designed for mea ...
The field of mechanobiology has grown tremendously in the past few decades, and it is now well accepted that dynamic stresses and strains can impact cell and tissue organization, cell-cell and cell-matrix communication, matrix remodeling, cell proliferatio ...
We present 2D cantilever arrays for parallel AFM and their fabrication process using a silicon nitride cantilever with molded tip as the base element of the array. They are designed either for (i) force indentation onto living cells and stiffness mapping, ...

In this paper a polarimetric fibre-optics current sensor in a new highly versatile all-fibre configuration is described. The optical configuration is particularly simple and is based on a back-and-forth propagation through a twisted sensing fibre. This res ...
There are many questions in cell biology regarding the combined chemical-mechanical interactions between a cell and its surroundings. The mechanical feedback that a cell receives from its surroundings has a direct impact on its behaviour (eg. differentiati ...
‘Real-time’ nanoscale imaging and single molecule force spectroscopy of bio-chemical specimen based on atomic force microscopy (AFM) requires cantilevers with both low force constant and high-resonant frequency. The required spring constant should be betwe ...
