Nanoscale infrared microscopy enables label-free, chemical imaging, and spectroscopy at the nanometre scale by combining atomic force microscopy (AFM) with infrared radiation. Photothermal AFM-IR allows the simultaneous analysis of the chemical, mechanical, and structural properties of materials and heterogeneous biological matter, such as single-molecules and individual monolayers.
Highlights will include:
Dr. Francesco Simone Ruggeri will speak about the photothermal AFM-IR technique and using it to determine the molecular fingerprint of biomolecules, the secondary structure of protein and their assemblies, and unravel protein phase transitions in healthy and diseased states.
