- This paper describes a novel high-performance controller for a unique atomic force microscope (AFM) developed at Bristol University. It represents a key output from a large interdisciplinary EPSRC grant (EP/I034831/2 £800K) with Physics and Mechanical Engineering at Bristol University (m.j.miles@bristol.ac.uk) involving IBM (E. Eleftheriou, ele@zurich.ibm.com). The control system helped create one of the first truly non-contact AFM systems, enabling the examination of delicate biological specimens for the first time at faster scanning rates. The new noncontact AFM has been successfully used for analysis of artificially engineered proteins (self-assembled peptide cages) in collaboration with the Department of Chemistry (d.n.woolfson@bristol.ac.uk).
