Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a very-high-resolution type of scanning probe microscopy (SPM), with demonstrated resolution on the order of fractions of a nanometer, more than 1000 times better than the optical diffraction limit. It enables the imaging of almost any type of surface, including polymers, ceramics, composites, glass and biological samples. AFM is used to measure and localize many different forces, including adhesion strength, magnetic forces and mechanical properties.
Rising demand for high-resolution microscopy and growing demand for atomic force microscopy in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry are the major factors that are driving the growth of the atomic force microscopy market. The life science application segment holds a significant market share in the forecast period.
