Jena B.P., Horber J.K.H. Force Microscopy: Applications in Biology and Medicine

Wiley-Liss, 2006. — 300 p.A complete examination of the uses of the atomic force microscope in biology and medicine
This cutting-edge text, written by a team of leading experts, is the first detailed examination of the latest, most powerful scanning probe microscope, the atomic force microscope (AFM). Using the AFM, in combination with conventional tools and techniques, readers gain a profound understanding of the cell, subcellular organelles, and biomolecular structure and function.Porosome: The Universal Secretory Machinery in Cells.
