| Research Abstract |
I have accomplished, ahead of the world, the development of a high-speed atomic force microscope that can directly visualize dynamic phenomena occurring in molecules and cells at high resolution. Consequently, dynamic structural changes and molecular processes of proteins in action as well as dynamic phenomena occurring in live cells have been successfully filmed. Thus, the usefulness and innovative power of this new microscope have been demonstrated.
