Proceeding from basic fundamentals to applications, this volume provides a comprehensive overview of the use of AFM and related scanning probe microscopies for cell surface analysis. It covers all cell types, from viruses and protoplasts to bacteria and animal cells. It also discusses a range of advanced AFM modalities, including high-resolution imaging, nanoindentation measurements, recognition imaging, and single-molecule and single-cell force spectroscopy. The book covers methodologies for preparing and analyzing cells and membranes of all kinds and highlights recent examples to illustrate the power of AFM techniques in life sciences and nanomedicine.

Yves Dufrêne received his engineering degree in chemistry and bioindustries (in 1991) and a PhD degree in biophysical chemistry (in 1996) at the Université catholique de Louvain (UCL, Belgium). After a postdoc at the Naval Research Laboratory (Washington DC, USA), he became research associate (2000) of the Belgian National Fund for Scientific Research and lecturer in physical chemistry and nanobiotechnology at UCL. He is currently the head of the Laboratory of Chemistry of Interfaces.
