Atomic force microscope
Atomic force microscope. Television screen (left) displaying a specimen being analysed by an atomic force microscope (AFM, right). AFMs are tools for studying the surfaces of objects at an atomic level. They work by holding an extremely fine " stylus" (usually a diamond crystal) in contact with the sample, and slowly moving it across its surface. The stylus is spring-loaded, and its deflection is detected and can be converted into a computer map of the surface. The AFM is similar in principle to the scanning tunnelling microscope (STM), but has the advantage that the subjects to be studied do not have to conduct electricity

Featuring an striking image from Science Photo Library, this print showcases the intricate details of an atomic force microscope in action, with a television screen on the left displaying the analyzed specimen and the microscope itself on the right. Bring the wonders of science into your home or office with this visually captivating and educational poster. Order yours today and fuel your curiosity!
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 55.4cm x 42cm (21.8" x 16.5")
Estimated Product Size is 59.4cm x 42cm (23.4" x 16.5")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate
Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with landscape (horizontal) orientation to match the source image.
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the incredible capabilities of an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) in action. On the left side of the television screen, we witness a mesmerizing display of scientific exploration as a specimen is being analyzed at an atomic level by the AFM on the right. The AFM, a powerful tool for studying object surfaces, operates by delicately holding an exquisitely fine "stylus" - often made from diamond crystal - in contact with the sample. With meticulous precision, it glides across the surface while capturing minute details. The stylus is ingeniously spring-loaded and its deflection is detected to create a computer-generated map of the surface under scrutiny. Drawing inspiration from its predecessor, the scanning tunnelling microscope (STM), this cutting-edge instrument possesses one significant advantage: it does not require subjects to conduct electricity. This breakthrough allows researchers to explore various materials without limitations. As we delve into this still life captured through nanotechnology lenses, we are reminded of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and understanding. The visual display unit (VDU) acts as our portal into this microscopic world where atoms come alive before our eyes. It serves as a testament to mankind's ingenuity and technological advancements that enable us to unravel mysteries hidden within even the tiniest structures. This Science Photo Library masterpiece encapsulates both artistry and science seamlessly merged together, inviting viewers to marvel at nature's intricacies unveiled through state-of-the-art techniques like atomic force microscopy.
