About atomic force microscope

The atomic force microscope creates images of the surface map at the nanometer level. The microscope can measure all the features at nanoscale and do three-dimensional imaging. It can also be used to examine DNA. The coronavirus which emerged in 2020 was first viewed through this microscope in the world.
