Description

Carbon nanotubes represent ideal AFM tip materials due to their small diameter, high aspect ratio, large Young's modulus, mechanical robustness, well-defined structure, and unique chemical properties. Using these modified tips, the high-resolution image of well-characterized biomolecules, such as IgG and GroES, is obtained
