Force-based measurements of single molecules. In atomic force microscopy (AFM), a scanning probe can be used to image surface topography, motion of single molecules, and surface functionality. In another class of measurements, the force probe is instead bound to the target molecule; in such measurements, both molecular motion and the associated forces can be quantified.
