The Chonkerton

An Atomic Force Microscope and specialized etching

science

In a post from the Adafruit Blog, Applied Science explores the mechanics of atomic force microscopy. Using a MEMS-based microscope, the project images biological samples with careful specimen preparation, including gelatin-based immobilization techniques, and tests how specialized electrochemical etching processes modify stainless steel surfaces. It's a technical investigation into microscopic imaging and materials science.
