Reviews
"""This book fills an important niche by providing an introduction to AFM that will be understandable to a wide range of scientists ... the reader is offered an introduction of sufficient brevity to actually be read and of sufficient depth to help in defining the potential uses of SPMs in his or her own research."" Nature Cell Biology, 2000 ""I found this book easy to read with clear, simple explanations of a complex topic. I think that the selection of the subjects treated in the book is sufficient for the non-specialist to understand both the basic concepts of the AFM and the production of AFM images in biological systems."" Microscopy and Analysis, 2001 ""... is an excellent introduction for anybody wishing to enter this field ... In summary I would strongly recommend this book to any biologist planning on carrying out research using SPM imaging techniques and existing users in the field who wish to broaden their knowledge of SPM imaging and the research already carried out on common biological systems."" Drew Murray Veeco Instruments, Cambridge, UK ""This book provides an excellent survey of novel applications. It is nicely illustrated with numerous images from leading experts in the field. Clear descriptions of the apparatus and its basic principles are provided in a way accessible to students/scientists who do not have a strong physics background. It will be useful to biologists, but also non-biologists dealing with biosystems ..."" Prof Y F Dufrene UCL, Belgium"
