Quantitative Nanomechanical Mapping of Surfaces

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
AFM measurements were carried out on a Nanoscope IV multimode AFM (Veeco Instruments Inc.). Images were generated in the PeakForce QNM (quantitative nanomechanical property mapping) mode with a silicon oxide tip (Olympus microcantilever OTR8 PS-W) having a spring constant of 0.15 N/m and a radius of curvature of <20 nm. AFM imaging was performed at room temperature (~25°C) on freshly cleaved mica surfaces. A liquid flow cell (glass probe holder, MTFML, Bruker Corporation) was used to scan the surfaces in a liquid environment and to exchange solution in situ. All images were recorded at a resolution of 512 × 512 pixels and with a scan rate of 1 Hz. The z-set point and differential gains were manually optimized during each scan. Images were analyzed and processed in the Gwyddion 2.22 software.

Oligomer Morphology Characterization by AFM

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To evaluate the morphology of oligomers, AFM analysis was performed. For this study, the samples were diluted to a final concentration of 10 μM (in double distilled water) and spotted on a freshly cleaved mica sheet for 1 min at room temperature (RT). The mica sheets were then washed with double distilled water and dried in a vacuum desiccator. The imaging was done using Veeco Nanoscope IV Multimode AFM in tapping mode with etched silicon cantilever. Minimum five different areas of three independent samples were scanned with a scan rate of 1.5 Hz.

Interfacial Normal Force Measurements

Interfacial normal
force measurements were acquired continuously
using a Veeco (NY, USA) NanoScope IV Multimode AFM with an EV scanner
in contact mode. All experiments were performed at room temperature
(21 °C) in a sealed, insulated box to exclude external vibrations
and minimize temperature variations. The force profiles presented
had a vertical (normal to the surface/electrolyte interface) scan
size of 50 nm at a scan rate of 0.2 Hz. The atomically smooth Au(111)
surface (a gold film of 300 nm thickness on mica, Georg Albert PVD
– Beschichtungen), AFM probe (NSC36, Micromasch, Estonia; cantilever
force constant of 0.8 ± 0.1 N m–1) and AFM
fluid cell were cleaned with ultrapure water and ethanol, then dried
under a nitrogen stream. The Au(111) surface and AFM probe were also
cleaned with UV-ozone for 15 min prior to use. A WaveNano potentiostat
(Pine Research, NC, USA) was used to measure the open-circuit potential
(OCP) and to apply a negative potential (−1 V vs OCP) to the
Au(111) surface prior to force profile measurements. All experiments
were completed in duplicate on different areas of the surface.

Morphology and Size of Nanostructures

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The morphology and the size of the nanostructures were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), using a FEI Nova NanoSEM 450 equipped with a field emission gun. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements were performed on a Bruker D8 Advance diffraction spectrometer (Cu Kα1 = 0.15406 nm) with a voltage of 40 kV and an intensity of 40 mA. The zinc oxide layer surface morphology and roughness were determined by AFM using the tapping mode of a Veeco Nanoscope IV Multimode AFM. TEM images were recorded on a JEOL, ARM200CF (Tokyo, Japan), with a nominal point resolution of 0.8 A at Scherzer defocus.

Protein Imaging via Atomic Force Microscopy

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For atomic force microscopy, protein samples were spotted on a freshly cleaved mica sheet followed by washing with double distilled water. Immediate after addition, mica was dried in vacuum desiccator. AFM imaging was done in tapping mode under a silicon nitride cantilever using Veeco Nanoscope IV Multimode AFM. Minimum five different areas of three independent samples were scanned with a scan rate of 1.5 Hz.

Atomic Force Microscopy of Mycobacterium

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
AFM images were recorded in contact mode using an optical-lever microscope equipped with a liquid cell (Nanoscope IV Multimode AFM; Veeco Metrology Group LLC, Santa Barbara, CA, USA). To image MTB on silicon plates, the surface was charged with polyclonal rabbit anti-mycobacterium antibody (B0124; Dako, Carpinteria, CA, USA) before adding 0.1 μL of diluted (1:10) MTB samples to the plate [25 ]. Both height and deflection images were recorded, using oxide-sharpened microfabricated Si3N4 cantilevers (Microlevers; Veeco Metrology LLC) with a spring constant of 0.01/nm [22 (link),25 ]. Overall, 15–20 steel sample packs were used to observe each sample. The expected and observed frequencies of cell shape and cell size in different tube cultures were compared and analyzed by Fisher Exact test. The data presented here are the average of all observations.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
