Did you know that BudgetSensors® silicon AFM probes are made of single-crystal silicon, which has the exact same crystalline structure as diamond? The orientation of the crystal is always the same. The surface of the AFM cantilever is a (100) plane and the AFM cantilever long axis points in the direction.

In the article “Millisecond dynamics of an unlabeled amino acid transporter “ Tina R. Matin, George R. Heath, Gerard H. M. Huysmans, Olga Boudker and Simon Scheuring develop and apply high-speed atomic force microscopy line-scanning (HS-AFM-LS) combined with automated state assignment and transition analysis for the determination of transport dynamics of unlabeled membrane-reconstituted GltPh, a prokaryotic EAAT homologue, with millisecond temporal resolution.
