    Area of Science:

    • Nanotechnology
    • Biophysics
    • Microscopy

    Background:

    • Atomic Force Microscopes (AFMs) offer high spatial resolution but suffer from slow imaging speeds, limiting their use for dynamic biological processes.
    • Current AFM imaging of soft samples, like living cells, takes minutes per frame, hindering the study of rapid events occurring in seconds.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To address the low temporal resolution of AFMs by developing a control approach for high-speed precision positioning.
    • To enable the capture of 3D, time-lapse images of fast biological phenomena.

    Main Methods:

    • An inversion-based feedback/feedforward control strategy was developed to overcome positioning limitations in AFM systems.
    • The control approach was experimentally validated using collagen samples to assess its efficacy in high-speed imaging.
