Chemically characterizing the cortical cell nano-structure of human hair using atomic force microscopy integrated with infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR)

Figure 2 from A. P. Fellows et al “Chemically characterizing the cortical cell nano-structure of human hair using atomic force microscopy integrated with infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR)”: AFM-IR data obtained from a human hair cross-section (approx. 300 nm thick) showing (a) a schematic structural representation of the cortical cell (b) average spectra corresponding to each observed region (macrofibril and Ext-matrix) (c) AFM height map and (d)-(l) IR-intensity maps recorded in contact mode across a 2.5 × 2.5 μm region of the surface at a number of different infrared frequencies corresponding to contributions observed in the spectra (each shown above the corresponding image) for a representative fibre section. NANOSENSORS AdvancedTEC ATEC-CONTAu tip view AFM probes were used.

The structure of hair fibres has been the focus of much research over the last century with several techniques used to investigate their structure. *… Read More »Chemically characterizing the cortical cell nano-structure of human hair using atomic force microscopy integrated with infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR)

探針がカンチレバー先端より突出し、直上から探針先端を観察可能。NANOSENSORS アドバンスドテック AdvancedTEC™ (ATEC) プローブ

アドバンスドテックシリーズはシャープな三角錐の探針がカンチレバー先端より更に前方へと突き出ているのが特長。 探針を確実に測定領域にポジショニングしたい場合や、探針先端を直接見ながら作業するナノマニピュレーションなどのアプリケーションに最適です。 Screencasts on the NANOSENSORS AdvancedTEC  tip view AFM probes are also available in English:
