How Does AFM Compare to Other Imaging Techniques?

AFM offers unique advantages over other imaging techniques, such as electron microscopy and fluorescence microscopy. While electron microscopy provides higher resolution, it requires extensive sample preparation and typically cannot be used on live cells. Fluorescence microscopy allows for specific labeling of cellular components but lacks the resolution of AFM. Thus, AFM complements these techniques by providing high-resolution, non-destructive imaging of live cells.
