Abstract

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is an effective apparatus for examination of the surface structure of specimens with a higher resolution. It can be used for real-time observation in vacuum, air, and liquid conditions. This review pre-sented the basic principle of AFM and its significant advantages in biological sample research relative to other types of microscopes and summarized its application in chromosome research.
