§Episode 7 Toshio Ando, Professor
Professor Toshio Ando, Distinguished Professor of Kanazawa University, has published “High-Speed Atomic Force Microscopy in Biology” with Springer Nature Publishing. It is the first ‘textbook’ of HS-AFM, providing a comprehensive description of the principles and techniques of High-Speed Atomic Force Microscopy (HS-AFM).
Numerous examples of HS-AFM studies on proteins in this book demonstrate how to apply this new form of microscopy to specific biological problems. And the instrumentation techniques detailed in Chapter 4 will be helpful for engineers and scientists who want to develop the next generation of high-speed scanning probe microscopes for biology. These are of great value to a wide range of people, from students and researchers new to HS-AFM to engineers and researchers planning the development of the next generation of Bio-SPM.
In this episode, the author, Prof. Ando, describes the background to the publication of the book and shares his thoughts on the future of HS-AFM.
