20130314_F0001: Back side of an atomic force microscope probe holder
- A probe holder of an atomic force microscope (in this case a Bruker MultiMode). The cantilever probe is in the holder and can be seen in the middle being held in place by the gold coloured spring. This kind of microscopes can detect structures nano-metres (1 nm = a billionth of a metre) in size. I took this photo for an open lecture I'm giving today on using atomic force microscopy to "see" nano-scale protein structures at The Beaney museum in Canterbury.
