Bruker AFM Contact Resonance Module

New Bruker BioAFM Contact Resonance Module for Stiff Biological Samples

Bruker’s Contact Resonance module is for mechanical characterisation of stiff biological samples, polymers and metals with AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy). Until now it was not possible to study the nanomechanical properties of samples such as teeth, bones, seeds, wood and medical implants with this level of accuracy.
