| Research Abstract |
In this project, I have developed a closed fluid cell with liquid-sealing mechanism to improve the stability and the reproducibility of three-dimensional scanning force microscopy (3D-SFM). The results showed the applicability of the developed closed fluid cell to atomic-scale AFM experiments. In addition, I demonstrated the 3D visualization of hydration structures and lipid headgroups at the interface between DPPC bilayer and water by 3D-SFM. The results suggest the applicability of 3D-SFM imaging to molecular-scale studies of biological membrane/biological solution interfaces.
