| Research Abstract |
In this project, an atomic force microscopy (AFM) instrument was developed to evaluate the reliability of fluorescence probe methods for molecular diffusion measurements in lipid bilayers. A sample holder developed in this project is usable in both the molecular-resolution AFM imaging and fluorescence measurements under the same condition. As the developed AFM instrument allows us to compare the data of molecular diffusion obtained by both methods, the capability should be useful for the reliability evaluation of fluorescence probe methods for molecular diffusion measurements.
